The Artspace project introduces professional artists with specialist skills to Barrow and South Cumbrian schools and to the wider community. Working with artists from within our region, we establish sustainable creative partnerships with our local authority, the areas creative industries and institutions, providing time and resources to devise and deliver innovative projects that combine traditional art skills with digital media, performance and research.
Since 2017 we have begun to explore aspects of significant sites and their role in our perception of place and history. Working from a base at the Sir John Barrow Cottage we have established partnerships with our local authority, Ulverston Coronation Hall and Green Lane Archaeology. "SJB3: Manners and Amusements" was the first body of work and events to result, followed by "Storyfair' with the Sir John Barrow School and hosted by Furness Traditions Festival.
In 2022 our "Still Waters" project looks at social history and memory in Askam In Furness.
On this site is a full record of our work from our first residency programme in 2013-14 to the present.
We welcome your ideas and proposals.
