Our new show at Art Roundhay Park
Art Roundhay Park, a hidden gem within the heart of Roundhay Park. With new original artwork and prints, by artists and makers from the North of England, a total of nearly 40 artists and creators taking part!
The theme is inspired by the natural beauty of Roundhay Park, the Yorkshire coastline and landmarks in Yorkshire.
We've asked the artists to explore many different mediums, textures, colourways, but always with nature and landscape in mind.
