Its Hull in Paint again!
A heritage art exhibition for the City in 2018
from the Hull Civic Society
Hull in Paint began life as a one-week exhibition during Heritage Open Days in 2013. Over the last five years it has grown into an annual nine-week city wide touring exhibition that attracts an audience of over 75,000.
It is an event that is open to all artists and looks to them to create representations of Hull’s heritage through the medium of paint. The exhibition brings the ‘art of the everyday’ to audiences through the local heritage, evoking memories to inspire conversations and engagement and to create a positive image of the city to the people of Hull.
This year are looking for expressions of interest from anyone wishing to enter paintings with a heritage theme as potential candidates for a touring exhibition in the Summer.
The paintings will reflect a unique view of Hull as seen through their eyes, capturing the excitement and positive feeling that exists in Hull and reflects the rich diversity of its heritage and history.
For 2018, the exhibition will start its tour from the established retail and leisure centre Princes Quay. It will then move onto the following venues:
· Princes Quay, Harbour Deck
· St John the Baptist Church, St Georges Road
· Orchard Park Health Centre
· Hull Show, East Park Art and Culture
The Hull in Paint exhibition is produced by Ol’ Town Arts Events Ltd, a not for profit organisation working in partnership with the Hull Civic Society to provide the management and expertise to deliver the exhibition programme.
