Nature: Sensory – exhibition

Showcasing work by  five artists, this second iteration of Nature: Sensory reimagines how we experience the environment.

The show explores alternative sensory engagements with nature that are more than just visual, such as the tactile qualities of materials or the rhythm of movement.

Showing work created by disabled artists and those living with long-term health conditions, the exhibition offers fresh, unique interpretations of Wakefield’s green spaces that challenge traditional perceptions of landscape.

Thrive in Nature Exhibtion

Thrive in Nature is an eclectic mix of creations using natural dyes, plants, stitching, weaving, printing, carving and much more, put together by participants and contributors of our Seasonal Change Walks and Thrive group.

After three years of dedicated effort and creative collaboration, the results are in and on display for all to see. This unique display blends art, environmental awareness, and community engagement, serving as the culmination of an extraordinary journey with both Mother Nature and the local community. 

Nature: Sensory – celebration and in-conversation event

You are invited to join us for an informal gathering and drinks reception to celebrate the artists and their work in the Nature: Sensory exhibition, including an in-conversation at 6pm.

As part of this celebration event, four of the artists featured in the exhibition will be in conversation with Ella Cronk from Yorkshire Sculpture International.

The in-conversation will start at 6pm and will last for about an hour.

Guests are welcome from 5pm and the exhibition will remain open to 8pm.

This event is free and all are welcome.

To Improvise A Mountain: Lynette Yiadom-Boakye Curates

Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, one of the most important figurative painters today, selects an exhibition of works critical to her way of seeing and thinking, inviting audiences on a personal journey through art past and present.

First coming to prominence in the early 2010s, Yiadom-Boakye is both an artist and a writer who is renowned for her oil paintings of imagined subjects. Assertive presences who yet seem to exist outside of any definable time or place, her figures are hailed for both their technical mastery and lingering, enigmatic quality.

Ricky Adam: Back-To-Back, A Solo Exhibition

Back-To-Back is a series of photographs from the terraces of Leeds - 2006-2024.The photos, taken by Ricky Adam, are the result of years of going round the houses (quite literally), all over Leeds, in all manner of weather, taking snapshots in and around the red brick terrace houses that surround the city like a giant donut made from red bricks.

‘Stand’ing with Flamboyance
