Community Art

Our Territories project works with community groups to help local people to get to know our works of art. Events and workshops are held in York Art Gallery's Studio.

Groups come to the gallery for six sessions, taking inspiration from the gallery's paintings, drawings and pottery, and have the chance to work with professional artists.

We have worked with over 30 community groups during the last two years and have involved more than 2,000 local residents. These groups have ranged from young mums and children to elderly people with mental health problems, and from blind and partially sighted groups to homeless people and women's refuge residents.

The project is funded by the Arts Council.
