This curated selling exhibition of sculpture - in various materials, drawings and prints - will explore some of the most exciting sculptors working in York and North Yorkshire.  Each artist will offer an insight into how working drawings inform a final piece, as well as demonstrating their mastery of other media in their own right.  There will be some wonderful pieces to admire




Ruth Beloe | Harold Gosney | Andrian Melka

Rory Menage | Johnny Sunter




Central to the show will be a selection of work by Harold Gosney, following on from his spectacular retrospective at York Art Gallery.  In an act of extraordinary generosity, Harold has promised all proceeds from each and every sale of his work to the Friends of York Art Gallery
