From June 2022 to April 2023 German artist Lothar Götz transforms the area around No. 1 Station Approach next to Hereford Railway Station. Götz has made two monumental and vibrant geometric artworks that will be displayed on each end of Hereford College of Arts (HCA) and NMiTE’s new student accommodation. A number of dazzling flags designed by the artist are also be sited by the building. The artworks mark the start of a new cultural gateway to Hereford, welcoming visitors and enriching residents’ experience of the city.

UK-based Götz’s intervention is the first of four new bold commissions of public artwork at the site over four years. The No. 1 Station Approach installation is one of fourteen projects that have been made possible thanks to a successful £22.4million funding bid to the Stronger Towns Fund.

An associated engagement programme will reach out to residents, visitors, students, artists as well as the wider community to stimulate debate and showcase Hereford as a cultural destination.
