Experience the beauty and variety of Indonesian fabrics in this display of batiks from the Coleman Collection.

Batik, a wax resist method of decorating cloth, has developed as a craft in many parts of Asia and Africa. But it is in Indonesia, and in particular the island of Java, where this technique has reached its height. Indonesian batik is even recognised on UNESCO's List of Intangible Cultural Heritage. 

Now you can discover the stories of these beautiful fabrics, and the cultures and techniques that produced them.  

The world can be a mundane and underwhelming place, Phee makes things stand out. The monotony of the working week and the things we see so often that we stop noticing them is undone in the hyper-realistic work of Phee Jeffries.

No Ordinary Love is a brand new body of work and third solo exhibition by Leeds-based artist K Walker.

The Mill Gallery Presents Summer Exhibition 2025.  A vibrant celebration of contemporary creativity!

The Mill Gallery is proud to announce the opening of Summer Exhibition 2025, a dynamic and wide-ranging showcase of contemporary art, now on view through Sunday 3rd August. This inaugural group exhibition brings together an exciting mix of work by emerging and established artists across a variety of disciplines, including painting, sculpture, photography, drawing, and printmaking.

'Invisible No More' is a powerful exhibition that reimagines menopause as a creative and transformative life stage, rather than just a medical event.

Jan Bulley is a mixed media artist, ceramicist and printmaker based in Boston Spa near Wetherby (venue no.9). With a previous background in garden design, plants and landscape are integral to Jan’s work which has evolved into a fluid semi-abstract style capturing ephemeral tranquility and atmosphere.

Jan is one of the 27 artists and makers opening their studios for the annual Artists Around Wetherby Open Studios.

Each venue provides refreshments, including homemade cakes, for a donation to our chosen charity - this year we are supporting Yorkshire Cancer Research.

Ailsa Read is a contemporary seascape artist. Her paintings are somewhere between contemporary and traditional, based on detailed observation, but also in trying to convey the spirit of the sea, recording its moods is a constant challenge,  and she always remains open to the possibilities of experimentation with different mixed media.
