Founded as the Society for the Encouragement of Fine Arts in 1822, it proceeded as the Carlisle College of Art, from 1950, and switched to Cumbria Institute of the Arts from Cumbria College of Art and Design in 2001.
The county of Cumbria consists of six districts (Allerdale, Barrow-in-Furness, Carlisle, Copeland, Eden and South Lakeland), and in 2008 had a population of just under half a million. Cumbria is one of the most sparsely populated counties in the United Kingdom, with 73.4 people per km2 (190/sq mi).
Created for the 1979 European Parliament elections in 1979, Cumbria was a single-member constituency formed from the grouping of numerous neighbouring British Parliament constituencies.
The constituency saw only one election under the chosen boundaries, with the county of Cumbria and electors in Westminster constituencies as far south as the Fylde coast electing its MEP as one constituency in 1979 only. In subsequent elections, the constituency became the expanded Cumbria and Lancashire North.
Boundaries
Barrow-in-Furness; Carlisle; Fylde North; Lancaster; Morecambe and Lonsdale; Penrith and the Border; Westmorland; Whitehaven; Workington
Cumbria League is a competitive league at tier 8 in the English Rugby Union System run by the English Rugby Football Union. In the 2011/2012 season the league contains 10 teams competing for promotion in the N.Lancs/Cumbria League. It is currently the lowest competitive league for Rugby Union in Cumbria, with the Cumbria 2 North & West and Cumbria 2 South & East being run as Merit Leagues by Cumbria RFU but with potential promotion and division between these groups. As of 2011, The Cumbria League has 5 first XV teams (Hawcoat Park, Furness, Millom, Silloth, and Windermere) and 4 second XV teams (Carlisle Crusaders 2nd XV, Kendal 2nd XV, Kirkby Lonsdale 2nd XV and Penrith RFC A). Unlike the majority of other leagues, the Cumbria division includes a number of second/A teams.
Teams in the cumbria league play in both the Cumbria Plate (for the 1st XV clubs) and Cumbria Vase (for the 2nd XV clubs).
2009/2010 Season
Whitehaven were champions of the Cumbria league and were promoted to the N.Lancs/Cumbria league. Millom secured second place but failed in their play off game, losing 32-10 to Didsbury Toc H, so remained in the Cumbria League until the following season.
MA Show 2019 - Institute of the Arts - University of Cumbria
One of the highlights of the year for the Institute of the Arts at the University of Cumbria is our MA Show, which celebrates how far our MA students have developed during their time at Cumbria.
The 2019 show exhibits the work from a collection of art courses, including MA Photography, MA Creative Practice and MA Contemporary Fine Art, and could includes a variety of formats, including installations, film, photography, illustrations, printmaking, drawing, sculpture and ceramics.
The MA Show is essentially our students' final collection of work and it's a great opportunity to see, support and enjoy the work of upcoming artists.
