A unique social arts project titled ‘Young Roots: Through The Window’, focuses on young people’s interpretations of Morecambe architecture & history, how the town has changed and how they can influence the future as the town develops.

Involving a group of young people from Morecambe taking part in four days of workshops delivered by acclaimed artist Tony Stallard, the focus has been on the interpretations of the town, its architecture, architectural loss and changes over the last century or more.

There will be a launch event held at the Dome, Morecambe on July 26th 2006
