BARROW-BY-DESIGN SHOP FRONTS REGENERATION PROJECT Cavendish Street
Art Gene is a research facility founded by 2 artists named Stuart Bastik and Maddi Nicholson, in Barrow-in-Furness. The project Barrow-by-Design focused on producing low cost shop floor upgrades through a grant scheme for small traders. Most of the awarded individual grants were for around £2000.
Over 30 small businesses had their looks upgraded by the artists of Art Gene, working on the concept side by side with the business owners. The financial means for this project were granted by the Borough of Barrow-in-Furness.
