Artpoint is managing the delivery of a commission by Rick Kirby, who has been appointed by Surrey Heath Borough Council to create a sculpture for Park Street in Camberley town centre. The commission is part of the planning agreement with Crest Nicholson, who are responsible for delivering the impressive new Atrium Development.
Three figures atop a steel shaft guide passers by with hands gesturing along three routes; Park Street North and South and Obelisk Way. The commission is awaiting approval from the County Council and will be completed within the next few months.

A second phase of the public art proposal for Camberley is currently being finalised. This will include public exhibition of the Park Street commission, public consultation, evaluation, and an educational community engagement scheme to help develop ideas and provide inspiration for the design of Herald Feature(s), which are to be sited along the A30 London Road that runs to the North of the town.
