Barrow seagull community art exhibition to go on display

More than 200 model seagulls are to go on display later this month as part of a community art project.

Artworks Art4All, a Barrow-based community interest company, has been collecting pieces from schools and community groups for its exhibition since September.

Its volunteers run art projects for groups, including those experiencing isolation and mental health issues, to give them a space to be creative in a supportive environment.

Founding director Sharon Tait said gulls of all sizes, made of felt, glass and even sweets, would be exhibited and auctioned for charity. “We have a lot of seagulls in Barrow. A lot. And now we have even more,” she said.
