New Visuality A York based visual arts charity. Directors: Greg and Ails McGee. New Visuality is a registered charity. This is where New Visuality step in."

Recently funded by National Lottery Heritage Fund for new project 'Young Town Planners', engaging 30 young disadvantaged people. We celebrate UK contemporary art on every day level, form its inception, to its execution and its exhibition.The Artists we source are the best of the new collectables; the skills we impart are solid and sustainable. The Artwork integrates into exhibitions with that of marginalized groups. So you'll find a painting, an artefact, ceramics, jewellery, textile art from emerging contemporary artists alongside work by someone who may have experienced homelessness or domestic abuse or a mental breakdown. The cycle of social exclusion is to break, but when we wield city centre exhibitions all over Europe and in Moscow, and when the work is as collectable as the art used to inspire it, and the sales o collectors bring in much needed income and participation leads to paid employment, then we know we're on to something. New Visuality uses contemporary art and the most innovative technology to raise aspirations, and consolidate CVs and employability, and never once do we lose sight of our most basic building block: that the art generated in our projects, whether its traditional, digital, or 3D prototypes, has to be uniquely fabulous and desirable. "We are keen to unleash the sharpest art graduates from UK's universities here in Moscow. There are exhibition spaces we could use, Russian curators who would ump at the chance to get involved and a growing number of collectors who are keen to see what UK artists have to offer"
Crichton Brauer, Managing Director of Globus International

"There is a lot of scope for UK artists through New Visuality to exhibit in public spaces and even in our guided walks through our 1000 ancient 'caves' here in San Giorgio Lucano. We would be very grateful to New Visuality to introduce to us their selected artists and the groups with whom they work so we can celebrate them in our annual New Visuality project"
Franco Cirigliano, Mayor of San Giorgio Lucano. " After a year of planning and negotiations, Stage Live are set to organise 3 highly publicised commercial art fairs in 3 major Chinese cities, Guangzhou, Beijing and Shanghai, all curated by New Visuality. We're making astonishing progress over here in China, and the direction New Visuality is going in is ideal for what we've got in mind for running a Chinese based biennale. There is a lot of interest for this kind of stamp of approval from a UK art project, a lot of Chinese collectors want to see the top slice of UK contemporary art. Max Sanderson, creative director of Chinese based company Stage Live Asia Ltd

So proud of what we’ve created with our Holgate project — a celebration of local places, young voices, community pride and creativity.
From photography and drawing to collaborative artwork and exhibitions, this project has been about helping young people look at Holgate with fresh eyes and recognise just how much is worth celebrating on their own doorstep.
A huge thank you to everyone involved — the young artists, families, partners and supporters who helped bring it all to life. Holgate Labour, you’ve been brilliant. You do City of York Council proud. šŸ’™

We’re very pleased to announce that New Visuality is beginning discussions with local schools and pupils to identify the first recipient of the **Keith Thompson Young Artist Prize** in Heworth Without.

Keith was a much-loved member of the local community and someone who always made people feel welcome at Christ Church, Stockton Lane. The new prize will celebrate a young artist from the area whose creativity, effort and contribution to their community deserve recognition. (

It feels like a fitting way to remember Keith: positive, encouraging and rooted in Heworth Without, with his name continuing to be associated with welcome, community and supporting the next generation.

Huge thanks to City of York Council's Heworth Without ward for supporting the wider work that has helped these intergenerational connections grow.

**Young People Put Holgate in the Frame**
Young people across Holgate have been exploring their neighbourhood through photography, drawing, painting and digital art as part of a New Visuality project with Poppleton Road Primary School and the New Voice Project. From West Bank Park and the Iron Bridge to local allotments, streets and community spaces, the aim was simple: to look again at familiar places and celebrate what makes Holgate special.
The sessions helped build confidence, creativity and a stronger sense of belonging, while also reflecting Poppleton Road Primary School’s values of **Success, Enjoyment, Community and Safety**. Young people worked with professional cameras, developed new skills and even met the Lord Mayor of York, who praised their creativity and contribution to the community.
The project finished with a huge collaborative collage combining photographs, drawings, slogans and digital artwork. It became a colourful celebration of Holgate’s railway heritage, green spaces, landmarks and, most importantly, its people — showing what young residents believe is worth valuing, protecting and celebrating.
**Creativity. Confidence. Community pride. Very Holgate.**
