THE MERCER OPEN

CURATOR: Court Spencer
DATE: Sept 2022 - Jan 2023
VENUE: The Mercer Art Gallery, Harrogate

This eclectic exhibition celebrated Yorkshire talent. Artists who were born, live, work or study in Yorkshire (currently or in the past) were invited to submit work to be considered for the show. Over 350 artists submitted over 1,000 pieces and from this 170 works were selected from 90 artists.

There were prompts provided to encourage visitors to engage in “slow looking”, to take the time to make discoveries about the artwork and form a more personal connection with works.
