Exhibitions
Imogen's World
25 January 2025 – 19 April 2025
An exhibition of artwork by Imogen Carline, a young Doncaster-based artist who is autistic and nonverbal. The exhibition showcases Imogen’s artwork across a variety of media, including drawings, paintings, clay, blu tack, as well as celebrating Imogen’s personal style and make-up looks. The exhibition is curated by Rachel Horne-White and supported by Phab Carers Doncaster.
Brushstrokes and Exposures
11 January – 22 February 2025
Brushstrokes and Exposures brings together paintings and mixed media artworks by Doncaster based artists Ian Davenport and Nicola Knott.
Ian and Nicola met at University Campus Doncaster whilst studying for a degree in Fine Arts & Crafts and became firm friends. After graduating in 2023 they have gone on to develop their respective art practice, Ian as a contemporary landscape artist working in oils and Nicola as a professional photographer and mixed media artist.
This exhibition presents new work, recording and expressing the natural world in and around Yorkshire, contrasting the expressive world of plein air oil painting verses the view through the camera lens.
