Barnsley Opens Up!
April 26th & 17th, May 3rd - 5th 2008
Open Up Sheffield and South Yorkshire 2008 will see what we believe is the largest number of artists showing simultaneously in Barnsley!
Across a range of sites, all across the borough, artists will be showing their work. The event runs across the last weekend in April and the first weekend in May including the Bank Holiday. Visitors will be able to view work, talk to artists, see inside workspaces and galleries and learn more about visual arts in Barnsley.
Artists are invited to show their work at Worsborough Mill and Country Park and at Elsecar Heritage Centre over the bank holiday weekend. Contact tracey@creativebarnsley.co.uk for more information.
