AN architects firm has been awarded a £12,000 contract to decide where two giant steel sculptures will be put in Lurgan and Portadown as part of the public realm works.

Hamilton Architects have been awarded the contract by Craigavon Council to decide where the four-metre-high stainless steel sculptures should be placed. They will also prepare the designs to apply for planning permission and install them.

The art pieces, created by Donegal artist Maurice Harron, cost the council £62,000.

They were ordered more than two years ago during the town’s public realm work. The two sculptures were delivered last June and have been resting in the council’s depot at Carn ever since as reported in the ‘MAIL’ last year.
