Vernon Mill Artists - Celebrating 25 Years

We are continuing to celebrate our 25 years together as a collective. We had a very successful Arts and Heritage Weekend in September with a variety of activities and open studios. We welcomed many new visitors and some that have supported us throughout our time as a collective.

The next event is the Vernon Mill Artists Christmas Party on Saturday 30th November and Sunday 1st December.

Want to visit Vernon Mill but can't make the open studios event?

No problem. The mill is open to the public every weekend for the public to view work and visit the artists. Open at other times by appointment with individual artists.

'I'm Still Me' Exhibition for University of Leeds is now showing

Four of the Vernon Mill artists, Alison Murdoch, Brigid Brind, Tracy Ireland and Sarah Morley, have painted portraits for an exhibtion by five artists entitled 'I'm Still Me'. This is a co-created project with The University of Leeds, which aims to honour eight patients who wear facial prosthesis and raise awareness of the impact of head and neck cancer and facial equality. The exhibition also shares the research by The University of Leeds which has resulted in a greatly improved facial prothesis experience, using digital scanning and 3D printing.

The exhibition can be viewed from 4th November to 31st January at The Bexley Wing, St James Hospital, Leeds, LS9 7TF.

The exhibition had a very successful launch on 6th November and was featured on BBC Look North ( Yorkshire). It included some footage of Vernon Mill artist Alison Murdoch talking about her work.
The photo from the launch shows all five artists, (four from Vernon Mill) and Dr Rachael Jablonski and Professor Sue Pavitt, the leaders of The University of Leeds team.
