Inspirations Exhibition at York Explore set to inspire us all to learn

The ever-growing community-based Inspirations Exhibition is back at York Explore in its thirteenth year with even more to see.

The exhibition will be running from 10 June – 22 June during Explore normal opening hours.

The extended 12 day exhibition will offer an excellent opportunity for the community to see a range of work from painting, drawing and watercolour to stained glass pieces created by learners of all ages and abilities.

Fashion pieces created on the dressmaking course will be on the catwalk at York Explore’s fashion show in October in aid of Breast Cancer awareness month.

The new programme goes live on the 23 June. Look out for brochures arriving through your door with the Local Link for more information about our programmes.
