A new programme of art exhibitions is launching at Just Makers in Craven Court, Skipton, with the first exhibition exploring a different side of Yorkshire art.
Abstract: Beyond the Landscape opens on 1st September and runs until 11th October 2026.
The exhibition brings together original work from Yorkshire artists, exploring how abstraction, colour, texture and form can be used to create art.
While Yorkshire is well known for its landscape painting, the exhibition looks beyond traditional depictions of the county.
Some of the work takes the Yorkshire landscape as its starting point, while other pieces move away from landscapes altogether.
Artists featured include Skipton-based painter Julie Bruce, alongside Emma Butler, Lisa Metcalfe and Julia Poulton, as well as other Yorkshire artists working across painting, textiles, jewellery and sculpture.
The exhibition marks the beginning of a planned programme of changing exhibitions at Just Makers, with new displays set to take place throughout the year alongside the shop’s permanent collection of work by independent artists.
All of the pieces in Abstract: Beyond the Landscape are available to purchase, and the exhibition can also be viewed online.
Abstract: Beyond the Landscape will run from 1st September to 11th October at Just Makers, Craven Court, Skipton.
The exhibition is open daily and admission is free.
