Scarborough Museums and Galleries is hosting a day-long community arts celebration on the town’s beautiful Crescent on Saturday.
Summer on the Crescent is taking place from 10am to 4pm, in Woodend Gallery and Studios, Scarborough Art Gallery and in the Crescent Gardens.
The Woodend Gallery and Studios is hosting a local makers’ arts and crafts fair with stallholders including Wendy Doughty, Katie Gill, Melanie Green, Caroline Leeson, Chrys Mellor, Karen Mount, Bill Thomas and Sarah Westwood.
There’ll be family crafts and activities such as splat the rat and name the teddy, and a tombola.
Woodend tenants Angela Appleyard, Wendy Belshaw, Tony Belshaw, Angela Chalmers, Sally Gatie, Eileen Heaton and Sara Nowell will throw open their studios for the day.
In the Crescent Gardens, Art Therapy Yorkshire will hold kite-making workshops, and there’ll be other crafts and activities provided by the Scarborough Museums and Galleries learning team.
And visitors can enjoy three current exhibitions – at Scarborough Art Gallery, celebrity portraits by photographer Derrick Santini in Self Made and land art from James Brunt in Coastal Ecologies; and at Woodend, the latest exhibition from Crescent Arts, in collaboration with artist and farmer Kate Genever and Scarborough Sixth Form College Art & Design students, Rooted is an exploration of ideas and concepts around the word ‘rooted’.
