💙 Ten years ago, an incredible group of Pioneer Volunteers came together to help shape the Volunteer Programme ahead of Hull 2017.

What started in 2016 has grown into something truly special, and we're proud to continue that journey today as HEY! Volunteers.

This evening, we're celebrating the people who started it all! Their community spirit, love for their city, and pride in its culture & heritage, and sense of adventure helped create a lasting legacy that continues to make a difference across our region. 🎉

We're excited to spend the evening at Artlink Hull sharing , catching up, and saying a huge thank you to our Pioneer Volunteers for everything they've helped create.

See you later! 💙

Bodies Showing Power by Nancy Clayton launches tomorrow evening, Thursday 16 July from 6-8pm (quiet hour 5-6pm) here at Artlink Hull | 87 Gallery.

Let us know your coming by signing up on Eventbrite: https://tinyurl.com/utyzvk6u

To reserve a free spot for our curator-led tour of the exhibition the following day, Friday 17 July from 12-1pm, head here: https://tinyurl.com/27dc3utz

The exhibition will continue until 12 September, open Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, 10am – 4:30pm.

Nancy Clayton is a visual artist and dancer based in London. Her large-scale drawings and paintings are informed by her experience and observation of the body in motion. Motivated by the potential for art to spark societal change, Clayton prioritises working with other Disabled artists to place these shared experiences at the centre of her practice.

For Bodies Showing Power, Clayton has made drawings in response to performances by dancer Sophia Moore and actor and activist Paul Christian. Layered over naturally dyed textiles, these fleeting movements represent power for Clayton and her fellow artists. Protecting natural resources and ecosystems, and valuing people and materials are central to her thinking, and her work seeks to create a new world, driven by the need for Disability justice.

This exhibition was co-produced by Artlink Hull | 87 Gallery and Intoart.

Artlink Hull | 87 Gallery exists to provide meaningful creative pathways for people who have not always had access to them. Through championing emerging artists, the exhibition programme connects local audiences with bold ideas and exceptional artistic practice, and contributes to a creative ecosystem in which talent can flourish.

Intoart is a pioneering visual arts organisation committed to equity, visibility and social justice, led by the creative ambition of learning disabled and autistic people as artists and designers.
