We were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Stuart Bastik, co-founder and co-Director of Art Gene with Maddi Nicholson, and would like to take this opportunity of marking the significant contribution he made to the creative life of the North West.

Stuart’s design and making talents and his dedication and commitment to the area of Barrow-in-Furness has left a legacy that promotes sustainability and a critical re-thinking of place, nature and industry.
