SUMMARY:Highlights of the Fine Art Degree Show York St John University
DESCRIPTION:Friends of York Art Gallery present curated highlights of the Fine Art Degree Shows at York St John University. The Friends of York Art Gallery (FYAG) are delighted to stage an exhibition of four selected young artists from York St John University at Sliding Water Gallery. The exhibition will open on Weds 17 June 2026 and close on Saturday 20 June. Hours of opening are 11am to 4pm. \nDr Nathan Walker\, Head of Fine Art\, describes the 2026 degree show; \n“Our annual Degree Show is made up is made up of many small parts\, bits and pieces\, stuff and things. The materials of contemporary artistic practice are everywhere and made more complex by the very processes of discovering what it means to make work at this point in the 21st Century. These fragments are scattered across times and so\, from the moment students arrive to study with us all the way up to this moment\, just before they leave\, the Degree Show is forming slowly and with quiet determination. \nAs art tutors we have the privilege of witnessing this. We often see the first fleeting glimpses of something we know will be profound during the first year of study; we get to watch it develop. These students’ work is full of these moments\, fully realised.” \nThe four artists at Sliding Water were chosen by Livia Turnbull\, Curator of Contemporary Art at York Art Gallery. They are; \nBronte BentleyChloe HazlehurstCole PallettandTom Hardwick. \nLivia comments; \n“All of these artists’ work has a quality of imagination I would be happy to see in the Gallery.” \nAn inaugural FYAG prize was awarded to Tom Hardwick whose intriguing practice snares mysterious objects within delicate woven lattices.

SUMMARY:Trip to Thorns Art Gallery at Semerwater
DESCRIPTION:Leaving Memorial Gardens at 9 am we will travel by minibus to Thorns Gallery\, arriving at about 11 am in time for tea/coffee and biscuits. This is a rare opportunity to visit this contemporary art gallery opened in 2025 in a beautifully converted cattle shed overlooking Semerwater\, near Leyburn\, where Jake Attree is holding an exciting solo exhibition. Friends may know Jake through visits to his studio in Dean Clough and his paintings of the Minster in York Art Gallery. In an exhibition catalogue for Messum’s in Cork Street\, London\, his work was described as ‘somewhere between the epic and the folkloric: the high impasto surfaces of his panoramic studies centred on York Minster and his earlier homage to Breughel show an eye for the infinite\, enduring details of his ancient city’ and\, I would add\, elsewhere. The gallery owners\, Graeme Black and Jonathan Reed will join with Jake to meet us to discuss their project and Jake’s new exhibition. There will then be time to wander through the gallery and\, depending on the weather\, enjoy a little of the peaceful countryside. Please bring a packed lunch as there are facilities for eating both inside and outdoors. We aim to be back in York for 5pm. Owing to narrow roads around Semerwater\, we are limited to a minibus and hence spaces\, so early booking is advised. \nCost: £40. To include minibus transport\, coffee and exhibition.If paying by cheque\, please contact the organiser.  \n			\n				Book tickets
