I think that you will agree that there is an incredible range of talent and skill on display here! The ideas on offer are currently un-matched within York’s artistic climate in our opinion and of course, it is only natural that such a showcase should take place at Bar Lane!

We look forward to hearing more from this imaginative and passionate collective in the near future.
