People dancing in the street to pop-up music festivals; lessons in woodcraft, and artists visiting schools to share their ideas and talent. This is what Salford can expect after the city won a £750,000 grant.
The Lowry Centre, since it opened in 2000 has provided a rich menu of plays, ballet, comedy, and performances by musical artists as diverse as Petula Clark and Nils Lofgren. It also houses the largest collection of works in the world by L S Lowry.
But the aim of the grant provided by the Arts Council of England National Lottery Projects is to spread art and fun across all the town's of the borough. It will see events staged in public parks, and high streets, as well as at the former docklands.
