Vroom with a View is a visual arts project within the Fusion
action research programme. Funded by the Arts Council of
England (North West) and based in Eden and Carlisle, this was a
collaboration between artists Graham Tunnadine and Christina
Lorimer working with the Local Strategic Partnership and the
community to raise awareness about road safety. In a project of
this kind, the measurable product at this stage is the report,
output from practical workshop sessions/exhibition and
proposals for a permanent artwork.
This report gives a breakdown and analysis of the results to
date, setting out the issues, how these have been explored and
the response of its participants. It also suggests how the
achievements of the project might be further implemented.
