Formerly known as ‘Art For Youth’, The Big Art Show features the work of over 70 Northern established and emerging artists, with sales raising funds for Yorkshire Children’s Charity.

Preview evening tickets available online.

I am delighted to be taking part in a joint exhibition - ‘Glimmers’ - at Saltaire Art Gallery with atmospheric landscape artist Paula Dunn. Running from 16th October until 16th November, the theme of the show is the small, subtle moments or experiences that spark a feeling of safety, connection, or inner peace.

Preview night: Thursday 16th October, all welcome.

Staithes Festival of Arts and Heritage is a lively, friendly weekend celebrating art and local history in the picturesque coastal village of Staithes. Artists exhibit their work in cottages, galleries, and makeshift studios around the village. Alongside exhibitions, there are talks, workshops, and live music. It’s a welcoming creative event with something for everyone.

Find me at Rose Lea Cottage, Beckside.

Situated close to the city centre, the event is spread across the sweeping grounds of Sheffield Botanical Gardens, which are listed by English Heritage as a Grade II site of special historic interest and provide a stunning backdrop to the event.

Alongside a huge variety of art & craft exhibitors in the pavilions and marquees, there are also sculptures on the lawns, an open art competition, exhibitions, live demonstrations, a dedicated home and gardens showcase, plus locally-sourced food and drink stalls.

Art in the Park takes place in the wonderful Victorian Jephson Gardens and Mill Gardens in the heart of Royal Leamington Spa, Warwickshire. Taking place over two days, the festival is buzzing with live music, mouth watering refreshments and dozens of free workshops, as well as featuring over 200 Artists and makers.

You can find in the Mill Gardens Artists Village.
