Robert Robson, artistic director of The Lowry arts centre
in Salford, has died at the age of 58.
Mr Robson had been artistic director
at the venue, which houses theatres and galleries, since 2003.
The Lowry chief executive Julia Fawcett
said he died
suddenly on Friday.
"He was respected across the
industry, and will be greatly missed by his colleagues here at The Lowry and
the people he worked with and supported across the country," she said.
"We hope everyone would join us
in sending our deepest condolences to Robert's family."
Mr Robson started his career at
Cumbernauld Theatre in North Lanarkshire before running Glasgow's Mayfest arts
festival and His Majesty's Theatre in Aberdeen.
The Lowry, which comprises three
theatres, plus galleries for its collection of LS Lowry artworks and other
exhibitions, was Greater Manchester's most popular visitor attraction in 2012,
attracting 820,000 people.
