We’ve a fabulous new exhibition opening at Inkwell next Friday.

You are warmly invited to join us for the exhibition preview evening to meet the artists Beth Smith and Kevin Hickson, enjoy a glass of wine and view some refreshing pieces of art, ceramics and sculpture.

 

Art Exhibition Inkwell

Kevin Hickson primarily describes himself as a painter although works in digital photography, graphic design and sculpture. His work explores an interest in the environment, scientific development and it’s impact on where and how we live. Some of his work could be described as landscapes and what he calls ‘innerscapes’ where he likes to play with micro and macro imagery.

Beth Smith is a well established artist who has returned to exhibiting her work again recently, creating beautiful works in ceramics and also paintings.

The preview evening starts at 6pm on November the 15th and here you will get the first opportunity to purchase any pieces on show. We hope you can join us for the evening.

 

 

Place and Memory

This summer, eight artists worked together discovering the city and themselves. Three Inkwell artists ( Amanda Burton, Lorna Johnstone and Donna Coleman) were chosen as part of the eight to work on this creative professional development project led by Emma Bolland, Judit Bodor and Tom Rodgers.

These artists, writers, and filmmakers have responded to the city of Leeds. Sharing personal and collective memories, they examine the hidden and overlooked corners of the city, finding beauty in unexpected places.

Exploring graveyards, wastelands, woodlands, and a hospital’s echoing corridors, they have created drawings, installations, photographs, video, poetry, sculpture, and sound. Read More

We love this time of year at Inkwell. Autumn brings with it a new term, new students, fresh faces and a rejuvenated team after the summer break. October is also the time of year the Love Arts Festival starts and we are really thrilled to be the organisers of some of the great line up of events happening.

The Love Arts Festival aims to get people thinking and talking about mental health and to reduce the related stigma that so many people experience. The arts are a fantastic vehicle to explore these complex issues as well as an important medium for participation and inclusion for people affected by mental health difficulties. This year they have drawn their inspiration from the power of storytelling to create understanding and harness creativity. Read More

The opening night will take place on Tuesday 27th August when the Trail officially opens. The evening will be a joyous celebration, including events happening at each venue plus musicians and entertainers on the streets.
