Art Fund director and Chair of the Judges Stephen Deuchar described the new extention to the museum as 'Deeply inteligent and breathtakingly beautiful'...
- Having its toes in the gushing waters of the river Calder, Wakefield's Art Gallery is a superb choice for a cultural day out. It was also a well deserved WINNER of the Art Fund Museum of the Year last year, 2017..
An art fund card will earn a good discount for purchases here, and there are some other treats not too far away also!
- We are delighted that, following last years December Flood, our favourite North London Gallery, James Freeman are open and once more thrilling us with some outrageously imaginative works.
From 8th to 28th March 2018, another show not to miss from James Freeman was 'Makers of Marks'
Drawing and printmaking have much shared history and enjoy a deeply interwoven relationship, but even so, contemporary artists still find new ways of making them play off each other. In 'Makers of Marks' the gallery present three artists who experiment with this relationship against a background of classical references: Daniel Hosego, Sam Branton and Jon Braley.

Shed your Winter Weather Worries!
The Posh Shed Company created this inviting haven
There were quite a few bat whisperer this Halloween, with The Posh Bat Box, also from the Posh Shed Company.
For many people their shed is an extension of their home, especially now
that sheds are often used for so much more than simple storage solutions. It makes sense,
then, to prepare your shed for the impending winter weather, just as you would prepare
your house.
Richard Frost, CEO of the Posh Shed Company, offers his top tips to ensure that your shed
stands the test of time, and survives whatever weather winter decides to throw at it.
Firstly, ensure that the air gap is maintained under the base and around all sides; check on
an annual basis to make sure that there is not a build-up of debris growing around it. Open
doors and windows whenever possible to keep an airflow going. If do you notice any small
mould growths appearing on the inside of your shed, wipe down with a diluted bleach
solution as soon as you can to prevent it from spreading. Also, a quick squirt of oil in the lock
will mean that you won’t be struggling with a rusty lock when spring comes around.
If you notice the snow piling up on the roof of your shed, take a few minutes to clear it off
with a broom or rake. Snow and ice can weigh down the roof of a shed causing problems
over time. Remember, do some winter maintenance to avoid unpleasant surprises in the
spring.
Richard Frost, commented: “It is important that sheds are given a bit of TLC as winter
arrives. All of our sheds are built to last but, being a wooden product in an English climate,
there will be a little maintenance needed to ensure that your product remains in tip top
condition. Provided this is the case, we would expect your shed to last for many, many
years.”
The Posh Shed Company only use high quality materials and each stage of their shed design,
build and finishing process is carried out by skilled craftsmen in its Herefordshire workshops.
The paint that is used contains a wood preservative, which should only need repainting
every 2-4 years.
Posh Sheds guarantee against structural and design defect for two years, timber that is
tanalised is guaranteed against rot and insect attack for 10 years, and if Polycarbonate
glazing sheet has been used, it is guaranteed unbreakable for the life of the product.
