Ferens Open 2012

posted 11 Feb 2012 07:11 by Jonathan Hooper

I've had three paintings selected for the Ferens Open in Hull - I'm going to pop over next week and have a look. I love the Ferens gallery - one of the best public galleries anywhere - and am very pleased to be in the exhibition this year.

Today is the last day of my exhibition at Heart - it has gone very well. It is a lovely space, staffed by great people, and I've been very pleased with how the exhibition looked - thanks to all.

I have an exhibition, "Headingley Snapshots" at HEART in Headingley in June and July - opening on Saturday 11th June (the day of the Farmers' Market). I will be showing a selection of paintings from the last two years, of places in Headingley and the surrounding areas.

I will have a couple of paintings in Holmfirth Artweek 3-9 July http://www.holmfirthartweek.org.uk/ - sounds rather interesting. I've never done it before but it is a completely open show (no selection process - people selected by a draw). I'm looking forward to seeing what it's like. 

   

Saltaire Arts Trail

This is on from 28th - 30th May. The brochure and map are now available at the Saltaire Arts Trail's web-site http://www.saltaireartstrail.co.uk/artstrail2011/index.html with an image of one of my paintings (one of my favourite ones as it happens, though it wasn't me who chose it).

This should be a very exciting event. At the weekend I went over to Saltaire, to see the space and meet the hosts and fellow exhibitors - it's a lovely house, with very good natural light, close to the station and to Salts Mill and so I'm very pleased. I'm very much looking forward to this, and to seeing everyone else's work - all I need to do now is to decide what to show.

I've just heard that I have been accepted for the Open Houses section of this - should be great fun.


Saltaire is a very interesting place - originally a mill town custom designed by the philanthropist and mill owner Titus Salt. His old mill now houses an interesting collection of shops (early music, books, art materials) as well as a restaurant and a gallery showing work by David Hockney.

I've not shown at the Saltaire Arts Tral before but I've heard that it is a wonderful event.

I have been accepted to exhibit at this collective exhibition, based in and around Headingley. It is a new initiative organised by the wonderful bowery cafe in Headingley - great art, great coffee, great food and the best music selection I've heard anywhere for years. I am very much looking forward to this.
