Work exploring identity, belonging and artists’ experiences of living in and around Scarborough will be shown at the Old Parcels Office, Scarborough Railway Station car park, Gallery 33 at Newborough and Mandy Apple at 44 Newborough.
Anybody visiting all three galleries is encouraged to collect stamps on a special flyer, which can be picked up at any one of the galleries, to receive their Here We Are badge after visiting all venues.
Free participative workshops will take place from 11.30am to 1pm every Saturday in one of the venues.
Lesley Warner, ceramic artist and co-curator of Here We Are said: “For this year’s Scarborough Art we wanted to celebrate the large number of artists who are linked to the three venues and invite them to think about their sense of self as well as their sense of place.
“By curating the show over the three different venues, with work including textile, ceramics, sculpture and fine art, the result is a diverse, celebratory show that proudly and optimistically shouts out ‘Here We Are’.”
