A NEW exhibition co-curated by Action For Autism Barnsley (AFAB) has been dubbed ‘brilliant’ by a local MP.
The ‘Four Seasons in One Day’ exhibition at the Cooper Gallery was praised by MP for Stocksbridge and Penistone Marie Tidball, who also visited an AFAB weekly session to chat with members.
She said: “It was fantastic to visit such a brilliant exhibition curated by local talent. I thoroughly enjoyed the multi-sensory, multimedia experience.
“The colours of the images really popped against the seasonal themes they had chosen.”
The exhibition is themed around the four seasons of the year.
AFAB members helped to curate the exhibition, with their images and biographies displayed upon entry.
The exhibition, their second collaboration with Cooper Gallery, is free to view and runs until April 19.
AFAB is a charity based in Barnsley town centre and runs sessions for neurodiverse adults.
Katrina Whale, project manager at AFAB, added: “We were delighted that Marie took time out of her busy schedule to visit Action For Autism Barnsley to meet some of the group members and visit the ‘Four Seasons in One Day’ that they had been involved in curating.
“The members enjoyed spending time in the exhibition with Marie and talking about their involvement and contributions to the project. We hope our paths cross again.”
