Next week will see the sixth annual Inspiration festival in York, which will celebrate the creative work produced by adult education learners in the city.
Organised by City of York Council's Adult and Community Education service, the festival will showcase the creative adult learning opportunities in the city, with the aim of encouraging more people to take advantage of what is on offer.
As part of the festival, the work of more than 100 adult education learners will be on display in the Merchant Adventurer's Hall on 5th and 6th March for residents and visitors to enjoy.
The showcase will include displays of work created at painting and drawing classes including, sculptures, ceramics, textiles, watercolours, jewellery pieces, photographs, interior design and a range of work from community arts courses.
For those inspired by the work on display there will be the opportunity to take part in workshops and a community textiles project as part of the events in the Merchant Adventurer's Hall.
Liberal Democrat Executive Member for Leisure, Culture and Social Inclusion, Councillor Nigel Ayre said he hoped the festival would encourage more people to take part in creative adult education.
He said, "There is a vibrant programme of opportunities for to people to learn new creative skills through the adult education courses run by the Adult and Community Education Team."
"I hope that visitors to the exhibition will be inspired to take the step to sign up to one of the wide range of courses on offer in the city, the people who have taken part in the courses in the past certainly seem to have got a lot out of them."
