Tate has lent L.S. Lowry’s 1927 painting 'Dwelling, Ordsall Lane, Salford' to The Lowry Academy in Worsley for a series of arts and careers workshops. This marks the first time the institution has lent a work from its national collection directly to a school. The initiative included artmaking activities and vocational guidance from Tate experts to introduce students to museum sector careers such as curation and art handling.
