The celebration day at Ashcroft Art Centre, Fareham was a fantastic success. The young people and their work "wowed" the audience with some stunning imagery. |

Gail and Dan from 131, exhibited their own photographic artwork in 2009 under the name 'Barriers South'. They toured the south coast from Hurst Castle in Dorset to Eastbourne Redoubt in East Sussex. This series of exhibitions was supported by the National Lottery through Arts Council England and was in partnership with 131 Design. 'Barriers South' used photography, projection, installation and sound, in 5 venues along the south coast - Eastbourne Redoubt, Newhaven Fort, the Crypt Gallery, Seaford, Spitbank Fort & Hurst Castle. Each venue has been used in times of conflict, as a place of fortification. The exhibitions focused on how its presence and activity had affected the landscape, people and surrounding areas. The exhibitions will be extended in 2010 to include Scapa Flow, Fort Perch, Humberside and Fort Paull, Merseyside, becoming 'Barriers UK'. Barriers UK will start at the Round Tower, Old Portsmouth, with a series of mixed-media installations for 'Light Nights' at the end of March.
