Young York artists showcase Angels of Hope exhibition

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 15 Nov, 06:01 · Archive

Young artists in York will display artwork exploring hope in an exhibition at Bar Convent from 1 December.

Young artists and students from across York will display artwork, animation and stories exploring hope in a new exhibition opening at Bar Convent this Christmas. The Angels of Hope project, organised by York charity New Visuality, will transform Bar Convent's Chapel and Gregory Gallery into vibrant spaces created by young people.

The exhibition connects York with Viborg in Denmark through the two cities' shared status as UNESCO Cities of Media Arts. It gives young people the opportunity to explore the people, places and experiences that inspire hope in their own lives.

At the heart of the exhibition is a five-minute film, Angels of Hope in York, combining illustrations created by York College English for Speakers of Other Languages students with animation produced by New Visuality's team of young artists. The project was celebrated at York College on 4 November, attended by the Lord Mayor of York Councillor Margaret Wells, York College principal Ken Merry and Viborg representative Henrik Holmskov. The exhibition opens to the public on 1 December.
