Creating contemporary Design Champions for the regeneration of the social, natural and built environment from the communities of Barrow and the Furness Peninsula.

Design Café aims to establish a permanent aspirational group, (aged 18 to 30), who are inspired and empowered to take a proactive role as champions for contemporary-design led regeneration within their peer groups and communities.  

The Design Café Group will meet bi-monthly at Art Gene, creating a temporary café sometimes in the recently refurbished Art Gene Gallery amidst artworks, at other times in the studios of Art Gene’s (inter)national residency artists or at other interesting sites where design meets regeneration.
