The 'Look At Me' Heritage Lottery Funded Project
Look at Me is a series of 10 free arts projects for young people aged 10 to16 in North Plymouth. The project runs over two years, until July ‘08 and is funded by the Heritage Lottery. Each sub-project in the Look at Me collection runs from one day to twelve weeks and is lead by a professional artist. All work produced during Look at Me will become part of Plymouth’s City Archive for future generations to enjoy.
Aims of the Look at Me project:
The Look at Me project was set up to help young people in North Plymouth connect with their heritage and the wider Plymouth community using the arts. So far the Look at Me team have completed four projects, a visual arts, dance and film-making project, as well as a summer project which involved many different art forms.

Rock Band Development & Recording Studio
It is estimated that every 3rd young person has been in or wants to be in a band, in fact there are more bands than you can shake a stick at and talent is rarely a factor in determining if a band “makes it” so why bother? Because of the positives the young people get out of it they have a sense of identity creativity and confidence all ingredients in the healthy human!! The recording studio is hands-on and the artists work along side the engineer in the search for the perfect sound.
