Ecosystems: an exhibition of work by Skipton Girls' High School students

Thursday 12th - Sunday 22nd March 
Craven Arts House 

​

Last summer students at Skipton Girls' High School took time to slow down and investigate the natural world around them. They found a wealth of plants across the school site, producing an incredible range of artistic responses.

Thinking about how being in nature can improve health and wellbeing,  their work includes poetry, monoprinting, lumen photography and cyanotype printing. It invites the viewer to slow down and reflect on their relationship with the natural world around them.

The exhibition will run Thursday-Sunday, 11am - 4pm.  

Please note we will be closed on Sunday 15th of March. 

From the Earth: NYOS 2026 Exhibition at Craven Arts House

Friday 27 March – Sunday 26 April 2026

Meet the Artist Event: Friday 27 March, 5 - 7pm​

​

Craven Arts House is proud to present From the Earth, a major spring exhibition featuring over thirty artists from North Yorkshire Open Studios (NYOS). Ahead of opening their studio doors to the public in June, participating artists will showcase a diverse collection of work exploring the theme From the Earth from 27 March to 26 April 2026.

​

The exhibition brings together an inspiring range of 2D and 3D artworks, including glass, ceramics, paper, print, painting, textiles, bronze, and mixed media. Each piece is accompanied by a short written insight from the artist, offering visitors a glimpse into the techniques, materials, and ideas that shape their creative process.

​

Drawing on subjects as vast as tectonic shifts and as intimate as moss-covered boulders, the exhibition reflects the many ways artists interpret the natural world. From moon cycles to ancient landscapes, From the Earth invites audiences to consider the forces, histories, and textures that lie beneath our feet.

​

The exhibition will run Thursday–Sunday, 11am–4pm, until Sunday 26 April 2026.
