About


Undercurrents is giving young people in Burnley the opportunity to discover and explore the hidden rivers that run beneath the town using photography, film making, visual art and creative writing. Based in the Crib in Burnley Central Library a group of 13 to 19 year olds are meeting regularly and working with artist Lucy Bergman.  Participants have the opportunity to gain their Arts Award as part of the project.


Undercurrents is part of Burnley's Urban Rivers Enhancement Scheme run by the Ribble Rivers Trust, and is managed by Burnley Borough Council Arts Development Team.  The project is funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
