Inspired York artists celebrate their 20th annual Christmas show at York Cemetery Chapel on November 7 and 8.
Inspired York is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its annual Christmas show at York Cemetery Chapel on November 7 and 8. The event brings together local artists and makers from across the region, offering shoppers unique Christmas gifts and the chance to buy original artwork directly from its creators.
The exhibition will feature returning artist Wilf Williams, known for hand-carved wooden birds and bespoke furniture, alongside two guest artists. Textile artist Galina Titova will showcase printed silk scarves, while mixed media artist Jackie Lunn will display handmade books and felt pictures. The core group of exhibitors includes painter Adi French, jewellers Jo Bagshaw and Richard Whitelegg, printmaker Sally Clarke, ceramicist Andrea Cundell, and leather artisan Naomi Wells Smith.
Founding member Jo Bagshaw said: 'I can't believe it's our 20th year of our show. We are always surprised at how quickly our event comes round each year.' Organisers say the event supports independent businesses and gives residents a chance to meet local artists in the run-up to Christmas.
