The Outside the Box Print Group has teamed up with the Tinker Gallery to showcase the fantastic talents and brilliant work created by Group members.
The launch event for the Printastic Printorama exhibition takes place on Saturday 10th January between 2pm and 4pm at the Tinker Gallery, 25 Church Street, Ilkley and all are welcome to pop in.
Emma Straw, OTB Printmaking Tutor, said:
“Our members at Outside the Box are full of wonderful creativity, and have great ways of expressing it when given the opportunity. We hope people will come along to the exhibition to enjoy their vibrant and wonderful work for themselves.”
“We are delighted to be partnering with Jo Tinker to celebrate and promote neurodiverse creativity and very much appreciate her sharing her lovely and inspiring space at Tinker Gallery.”
Following the launch, the exhibition will be open 10am to 4pm every Saturday up to and including Saturday 31st January 2026.
Emma Rogerson, OTB Services Director, commented:
“The history-making award of the prestigious Turner Prize this year to Nnena Kalu, a learning disabled artist, is a real moment of change. It marks a major breakthrough for artists who have a learning disability and at Outside the Box we very much want our members, all adults who have a learning disability and/or autism, to benefit from this. Visiting our exhibition at the Tinker Gallery will really open your eyes to the creativity and quality of work from our members.”
Members of the Group are very excited about the exhibition and looking forward to having their work, produced over the last year, shared with family, friends and the local community as a whole:
'It is great that we are having an exhibition at the Tinker Gallery, and great that people will be able to see our work.' Mark Ball
'It is interesting to have people look at my work in a gallery. I will feel proud when my family see it.' Tom Ager
'I enjoyed making my work. In the gallery, it will look awesome!' Morgan.
There is no booking requirement for the launch or the exhibition throughout January – just go along, enjoy and learn.
