Autumn exhibition

A Yorkshire Year

14 September - 15 December 2024

There is no denying that 'God's own County of Yorkshire' offers a rich tapestry of inspiration for artists. 'A Yorkshire Year' showcases a diverse collection of seasonal landscape images crafted by two distinct yet complementary Yorkshire artists—Robert Dutton from Nunnington, North Yorkshire, and Andrew Moodie from Harrogate. Both artists have journeyed across the breadth of the region, capturing the varied and distinctive landscapes that hold a special place in their hearts and provides endless inspiration in all types of weather and throughout the seasons.

Robert Dutton is celebrated for his distinctive and dramatic artistic interpretation of the untamed expanses of Yorkshire, spanning from meandering freshwater rivers and hidden woodlands to the stark beauty of the Moors. In contrast, Andrew Moodie directs his attention to the undulating valleys of The Yorkshire Dales, as well as intimate valleys and coastal villages. Each artist brings a unique story to their creations, and as the saying goes, a painting can speak a thousand words. This exhibition promises to be a captivating almanac, offering a glimpse into the captivating narratives woven by these talented individuals.

The Community Gallery is a space created to support local makers and artists, and for their work to be enjoyed by all. Drop by every six weeks to see a changing selection of artists, and for the chance to discover your next favourite piece.

The gallery is on the top floor at Nunnington, alongside the main seasonal exhibition.
