WAKEFIELD ART GALLERY EXHIBITION
From the WMDC Press and Communications Office
"Inspired" a
celebration of amateur art from the Wakefield District. Saturday 8th April
to Sunday 7th May 2006. Wakefield Art Gallery, Wentworth Terrace, Wakefield,
WF1 3QW
Over
60 local amateur artists will feature in a new exhibition opening at
Wakefield Art Gallery on Saturday 8th April.
The
"Inspired" exhibition is a real celebration of the calibre of
amateur artists that come from all over the Wakefield District. The youngest
artist is 16 and the oldest is in their 80's and between them all they have
produced an astounding range of work.
Nino
Vella, Keeper of Art at Wakefield Art Gallery, said, "Wakefield Art
Gallery has a long tradition of displaying the best of local amateur art by
displaying the work of members of the various art clubs and societies in the
District. This year we decided to change the format and make the exhibition
open to individuals, we are delighted that many new artists have approached
us to show their work. They have also brought in many fresh perspectives
including the use of unusual materials and modern digital technology".
With
over 80 works of art included in the exhibition ranging from portraits,
landscapes, still life, ceramics and sculpture, there is something to suit
all tastes. Many of the exhibits are for sale at reasonable prices.
The
exhibition runs until Sunday 7th May 2005. Admission is free. The gallery is
open Tuesday to Saturday 10.30 a.m. to 4.30 p.m., Sunday 2.00 p.m. to 4.30
p.m., closed on Mondays. We regret there is no ramped access to the gallery.
