A NEW exhibition will go on display at a church in Pocklington later this month to celebrate World Down Syndrome Day on March 21. The exhibition, called 21 , is a collection of 21 portraits by York-based portrait artist Sue Clayton, all inspired by children and adults who have Down Syndrome - including Sue’s energetic, son James. This will be the second outdoor exhibition staged by Pocklington Arts Centre (PAC) in lockdown, following the highly successful, NHS Heroes exhibition by Karen Winship. Sue has chosen the theme ‘21’ to not only mark March 21, when World Down Syndrome is celebrated, but also to symbolise the extra 21st chromosome that people with Down Syndrome have.
