Brand new artists’ studios and contemporary gallery at Elsecar Heritage Centre.

Creative Barnsley is developing studio spaces and an exciting new contemporary gallery in the popular Elsecar Heritage Centre.

If you are an artist wanting to enquire about studio space or just want more information please fill in the online form at http://www.creativebarnsley.co.uk/Studio.htm

The aim is for the studios and gallery to form the hub of an artistic community with regular events and twice yearly exhibitions of studio holders’ work. We will also be looking at developing further studios on the complex with additional facilities such as screen printing equipment, and suitable for a range of artistic practices.

utk the Sheffield based artists’ collective have collected discarded packaging moulds, filled them with liquid and frozen them. The product-shaped ice block has then been placed into water and the inevitable melt videoed. We hear about the melting of the vast polar ice caps on an almost daily basis but it seems so far removed from our direct experience. The image of familiar, almost intimate shapes which could be scissors or paintbrushes slowly distorting in and out of recognition in tanks of water, serve as a counterpoint to the global scale of the environmental and socio-political catastrophe we are facing.
