“Busking is a fantastic way to create additional vibrancy within our Town, and Guernsey Arts wants to help promote this form of Public Art as much as possible,” said Community and Public Realm Officer at Guernsey Arts, Jade Kershaw.
“We are delighted to be partnering with the Guille-Allès Library on this initiative for this reason: to improve accessibility to the arts for our community. We’re thrilled to be able to offer this equipment for performers locally, and encourage the public to support buskers out and about in St Peter Port!”
Guernsey Arts said busking contributes to a bustling and atmospheric highstreet and gives performers a chance to practice live.
The amps can be borrowed for a maximum of five days.
Head of Markting and Customer Services at the Library, Adam Bayfield, said: “The Library is committed to promoting creativity and the arts, and we’re proud to be partnering with Guernsey Arts on this initiative to make busking more accessible for local performers.
“The amps form part of our ‘library of things’ collection, along with litter pickers, bat detectors, and other physical objects available for loan. To borrow one, all you need is a library card – it’s free to sign up in the Library or online.”
