INTRODUCING SJB3

THE 2018 ARTSPACE PROJECT
"SJB3: MANNERS AND AMUSEMENTS"



The project is based at the restored birthplace of the 18thc statesman Sir John Barrow, and will reflect Barrow's work as cultural emissary and chronicler of the 'manners and amusements' of  people in other lands. 

Visual Artist Ellie Chaney, Outdoor Celebration specialist Alex Blackmore and Storyteller Dominic Kelly will produce new work on themes exploring the local andscape and the social and environmental structures of the town for installation and performance at the cottage, the Sir John Barrow Monument and in partnership with Sir John Barrow school. 


The Cottage will host open sessions where visitors can meet the artists and see their work - in - progress, while project leader John Hall will work with locally based artists on a programme of sessions at Sir John Barrow School, and other events will take place around town throughout the year. Keep an eye out for further announcements.

This project has been in development for a while and it's great to see our artists take the first steps into their projects. We are grateful to Ulverston Town Council for their support and enthusiasm, and we look forward to working along side Green Lane Archaeaology in order to explore the cottage and re-introduce it to the life of the town.
