This special community exhibition organised by independent arts Provider Rosie Barrett for MakeMore Arts and Nunnington Hall features work by artists including Tim Hopgood, Wanda Szajna-Hopgood, Karen Thompson and many local school children.
Visitors are encouraged to create a dragon scale which will be added to the Nunnington Dragon, a huge painted dragon which snakes down the corridor and into one of the exhibition rooms, this artwork will be in a constant change of flux during the exhibition as it is transformed from a black and white outline to a colourful collaboration of visitor contributions.
This project has been developed with funding and support from Arts Council England, Ryedale District Council, Scarborough Museums and Galleries, Fossiliam and the National Trust.
