‘Crunchtime 2010′ is an event depicting International Artists’ Responses to Global Issues running in York until 6th February 2010. Sorry it is crunchtime if you want to visit the various venues where events are taking place, as you have only a few days left. There is a seminar at the Guildhall at 5pm this evening and talks, debates and screenings tomorrow and Saturday.
My visit to the event introduced me too the New School House Gallery in Peasholme Green near St Cuthberts and the Quilt Museum.
‘Housed in a grade II former schoolhouse, the gallery is showcasing work in contemporary ceramics, glass, wood and metal, textiles and jewellery by both established and up-and-coming makers. It will also exhibit paintings, prints, mixed-media work, sculpture and installations by artists from the UK and abroad.’ read more on the New School House Gallery website. This new venture is planning a series of themed Exhibitions starting on 11th February with Home , then 1 April – 22 May with Reclaim followed by Navigation, 53º North and Open in August. If that isn’t enough reason to visit the gallery it is located in The Secret Garden’ . After a mind broadening trip you can have coffee and cakes at Le Langhe delicatessen.
