Installation of New Zealand’s largest public sculpture Fanfare at the northern entrance to Christchurch City is set to go ahead in 2015 after the Canterbury Community Trust awarded a $100,000 grant toward the project.

The sculpture, titled Fanfare was created by iconic Christchurch-born sculptor Neil Dawson, the artistic genius behind the Chalice in Cathedral Square.

Fanfare has been commissioned by the Christchurch City Council and produced by SCAPE Public Art for the people of Christchurch, Canterbury and New Zealand. Leighs Construction and Fulton Hogan will construct the work on site.
