The Touring Gallery has taken to the road

I love this!...a 1960's Sprite Caravan/Art Gallery is touring the North Yorkshire Moors. Brilliant idea; it is promoting 23 local artists including a blacksmith, painters, sculptures, felt-makers, ceramicists and print makers who are taking part in the Ryedale ArtFest. It was artist Stef Mitchell who came up with the idea, believeing it would promote the work of local artists to a wider audience as well as beating the economic down turn selling original work. Also it is great fun!
I have only just got my L plates (2 lessons down- such fun) but perhaps once i have passed, i'll get my own touring gallery to whizz around Yorkshire in!
