What's on

Harrogate’s reputation as a destination for artists to thrive and create has grown in
recent years as many now live and work in the town. Schoph, Christopher Kelly,
Candie Payne and Thomas James Butler are just a few names who are now local to
the area.
RedHouse Gallery has previously welcomed numerous prestigious visiting artists to
Harrogate including Sir Peter Blake, Jim Moir, Gered Mankowitz and Danny Larsen.
The ‘Art. Fair’, which opens for one day only on Saturday 7th March, will feature
original art, prints and sculpture, with several pieces created especially for the event.
Many of the exhibiting artists will attend the launch event in person, offering a unique
opportunity for visitors to meet and connect with artists and art lovers alike.
Richard McTague of RedHouse Gallery said: “Artists bring a vibrant and positive
impact to any area, and as a gallery we are privileged to work with so many talented
creatives. It wasn’t a conscious decision to show so many artists from Yorkshire, the
exhibition came together naturally, but the region has so much to offer, and clearly
an incredible heritage in terms of art history.”
Other contributors from across the region include Pete McKee (Sheffield), Florence
Blanchard (Sheffield), Alfie Kungu (Hebden Bridge), Gareth Griffiths (Leeds), Dudley
Edwards (Richmond), David Rusbatch (Leeds) and Siena Barnes (Haworth).
Antony Gormley CH OBE RA, a pioneer of art in local spaces and a champion of
artists once said: “We can make our cities diverse, inspirational places by putting art,
dance and performance in all its forms into the matrix of street life.”
The ‘Art. Fair’ is free to attend and will be open for one day only: Saturday 7th March
from 10am – 6pm.
