• Lakeside Arts Group Wed 31st Jan 2024
  This group exists to promote the arts, to encourage new artists, to support more established artists and to foster wider community participation. It welcomes the development of venues in the Yorkshire area for artists to share their work. We value and celebrate the power of the arts in all areas of life, their healing capacity and the way they help us communicate. From 7pm to 7.30pm there will be a performance of poems by Susan McCartney and Michael Yates.
• Kate Wray Wed 31st Jan 2024
  Installation, paint and sculptural artist. My work ultimately derives from my past experiences of working with a vast array of people. Becoming infatuated with the human mind has made me question relationships, within my work I have explored the notion of relationships held between humans and nature, how we as a species have developed a civilization, running alongside a natural world and the constant battle between each other.

• Marla and Lilli Wed 31st Jan 2024
  We are home educated sisters who love art! We've been attending sessions at The Art Exchange for some time but also do lots of artwork at home. Marla: "One of the pieces I created is a hand print and titled "Always and forever" I painted this with my mum in mind as she is always there for me, always holding my hand when I feel anxious." Lilli: "I've included a picture named "Storm on the Mountain". It shows how I felt at the time it’s the bright and colourful, I often put my feelings in to my artwork." There will be a selection of some more of our work too.

• Cale Smith Wed 31st Jan 2024
  I'm currently wanting to pursue illustration as a profession. The work shown is sketched from inspiration via anime/manga and is then put through a digital software on my phone to draw over the sketches and add the glow-like effect. There's no hidden meaning behind my work. Drawing is just something i just really enjoy doing and being able to create visually captivating art is what drives my passion.
