A COLLECTION of portraits celebrating our NHS heroes is to go on display at a new venue as Pocklington Arts Centre (PAC) takes its outdoor exhibitions on tour. Following a popular exhibition at PAC the 24 portraits of NHS workers, by York artist Karen Winship, will move to the Hull Waterside & Marina where they can be viewed from Monday (May 17) until June 20. Artist Karen Winship said: “I’ve had a great response to the portraits so far, so it is incredible that Pocklington Arts Centre is now taking the exhibition on tour into the wider community. “I’m really looking forward to seeing my portraits lining the railings along Hull Marina, which is a landmark in itself, and I hope the public enjoy them too.”
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.
