Northern School of Art student exhibition

A-level students from The Northern School of Art’s Middlesbrough campus have created a dynamic display of artwork inspired by the history of Ormesby Hall and stories of Ruth and Jim Pennyman. The hall will become a temporary mini gallery, and visitors can expect to see a showcase featuring photography, ceramics, textiles and painting. The library hosts some of the students' photography. The students have overlaid images that are reminiscent of the Hall - from close-ups of textile designs that feature in the rooms at Ormesby Hall, to excerpts from diaries from the collection - culminating in diverse and striking imagery. Future Creatives, an exhibition showcasing the work of seven emerging artists from the Northern School of Art college and university can be discovered in the dining room. We have brought these artists together, at the very beginning of their creative journeys, to form a collective display of ambition, resilience, and creative growth. The laundry will showcase three original panels. Each piece has been created collaboratively using a number of mediums and skills resulting in a diverse range of unique expressions of history in a contemporary form. Ormesby Hall is open Thursdays – Mondays, 10.30am – 4, last entry into the house at 2.45pm to close at 3.30pm. Normal admission applies to visit Ormesby Hall and there is no need to book to visit.
