A NEW exhibition will explore areas, landscapes, industries, and buildings of Barnsley through the eyes of 16 talented artists.
Opening on Saturday May 3, at The Cooper Gallery, Barnsley in Sight will feature new works by the esteemed Leeds Fine Artists (LFA).
The showcase will include 29 pieces of art, with a mix of two-dimensional and sculptural works.
Leeds Fine Artists, one of Yorkshire's most prestigious art societies, brings together a diverse group of artists dedicated to highlighting the beauty and history of the region. Established in 1874, LFA has a long-standing tradition of excellence in the arts.
Councillor Robin Franklin, cabinet spokesperson for regeneration and culture, said: “I am thrilled to welcome the Barnsley in Sight exhibition to Cooper Gallery. It promises a fantastic, free cultural experience for all visitors, offering a fresh perspective on Barnsley's unique heritage. It's a wonderful opportunity for both locals and tourists to explore the hidden gems of our town centre through the eyes of Leeds Fine Artists’ talented members.”
As the gallery prepares for the new exhibition, it will be deinstalling the current Four Seasons in One Day exhibition from Tuesday April 22. During this time, the main exhibition galleries will be closed, but the shop, cafe, and Sadler Room will remain open to the public.
