Hope & Art

Glen Jackson is showing at Patch on Saturday 27 June, with his exhibition Hope & Art taking over the space. It's a project by According to McGee, and the whole thing is in support of Age UK York, so whatever you get out of the visit goes back to the local branch of the charity.

As the title suggests, it's an exhibition of Jackson's work, and since it's hosted at Patch, it's the kind of thing you can just drift into on a Saturday afternoon. If you've been following the local art scene, you'll know Patch as a gallery space that keeps things straightforward, and that's exactly how this works: you turn up, walk through the room, and spend as long as you like with the pieces. There's no set programme to follow, so you can take your time and come back to the ones that stick with you.

Because it's a charity exhibition, it's open to anyone with an interest in art, and it's particularly geared towards adults. If you're usually the type to skip the big galleries and prefer something a bit more low-key, this is a good one to start with. It's a single artist's collection in a single room, and the connection to Age UK York gives it a bit more weight than your average weekend show.

It all happens on 27 June at Patch, with Glen Jackson's Hope & Art as the main feature. It's a project from According to McGee, and it's all in support of Age UK York.
