28 to 30 June 2019 Ilkley 28 to 30 June 2019 / free event All venues are open 11am - 5pm each day ILKLEY ART TRAIL 2019 Welcome to the 2019 Ilkley Art Trail programme. We made the decision to move the Trail to the end of June partly to see if better weather makes a difference to visitor numbers but also June allows us to access venues that normally are being used by the Literature Festival. Let us know what you think about the change of date. Ilkley Arts has had a busy 18 months since the last Trail. Most significantly we have moved to the Manor House estate and are based in two spaces in the cottages adjacent to the Manor House. This has allowed us to create a new beautiful studio space in No 4 Castle Yard and a new venture linked to the new Ilkley Arts Hub scheme. Several exhibitions have been held in the studio space and a wide range of workshops from bunting making to ceramics, jewellery making to life drawing. We have opened the Solar Gallery in the Manor House and set up a new membership scheme for people who love art. So, to the Trail. There are over 50 artists exhibiting in the Trail this year and the quality of their work is as high as ever. The programme will also feature fringe events happening before workshops during and some fantastic art events happening after the Trail - so make sure you put the programme somewhere safe. We have worked with our key designer – Massimiliano Belli - since he was as student at Bradford School of Art. He has now set up his own design company ( F ro m ab road ) with his partner and we are delighted to supported his up and coming business venture. Our volunteers play a key role in making the Trail happen and so a big thank you goes to all of them. We have also continued to enjoy great support from all kinds of businesses and individuals – our thanks go to all of them too. Ilkley has a thriving and developing art scene and one that we need to nurture and celebrate to help it thrive. We hope you will enjoy the Trail. BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR ILKLEY ARTS: Sarah Thomas (Chair), Jeremy Lewis, Libby Jubb, Joanna Tinker. KEY PARTNERS: Sarah Gamble & John Gamble (Art School Ilkley) Jody Kendall (Accountant) 1 MANY THANKS WE ARE GRATEFUL TO ALL THE ORGANISATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS WHO SUPPORT ILKLEY ARTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. Weaverbird workshop 2 BE A MEMBER JOIN ILKLEY ARTS HUB MEMBERS TO CREATE A VIBRANT CREATIVE HUB FOR EVERYONE INTERESTED IN THE ARTS In 2017, Ilkley arts established an art studio in Back Nelson Rd. With the Manor House being transferred to the Ilkley Manor House Trust last year, we took the opportunity to move the studio to 4 Castle Yard, one of the Manor House cottages. We have also entered into a partnering arrangement with Ilkley Manor House Trust with the intention of creating a heritage and arts hub for the town. Art School Ilkley is now very well established at the studio. We offer the studio for rental by artists and other groups for workshops. The Solar Gallery has launched at the Manor House. We are renovating an additional collaborative space for use by members. We have also launched a membership scheme. If, like us, you love Ilkley and love the arts, then you can join the Ilkley Arts Hub and help us create a vibrant creative hub for everyone. £5 per month. Exclusive benefits. See website for details. www.ilkleyarts.org NEW PARTNERSHIP Ilkley Arts move to its new premises in the grounds of the Manor House has allowed an important emerging partnership to develop with Manor House Trust. Most significantly the old education room in Cottage No 4 has been turned into the beautiful Ilkley Arts studio that now is available for hire and for art lovers to attend workshop and activities and exhibitions that are happening in the space. Over the coming months Ilkley Arts will work in collaboration with the Manor House Trust to support a range of art and creative activities in the House and courtyard. 3 Situated in one of the cottages, adjacent to the beautiful Manor House, lies Ilkley Arts Studio. It is a light spacious studio where artists run workshops and events, including pop up exhibitions, throughout the year as well as being the home of Art School Ilkley. It is a creative, vibrant and exciting arts hub for Ilkley and is available to hire.

OTB MEMBERS EXHIBITION We are the Choices project as part of Outside the Box. The project launched in August 2014 to help people with a learning disability to; express and develop their creativity; achieve more independence, choice and influence in their lives. The project with the help of Artists and tutors helps members explore their creativity and develop their artistic and expressive skills, abilities and confidence. The arts offer a powerful way of enabling our members to learn new skills and ways of communicating, to demonstrate their talents and develop new friendships. Our exhibition will include work in a range of different styles using several mediums, allowing our members the freedom toexpress themselves. Please visit our café for a hot drink, soup, sandwich or a slice of ourwonderful cake as you make your way around the trail, located on Bridge lane. 6 ART STALL An Art stall is being run in the courtyard at the Manor House in aid of the Art Fund which is a national charity that raises money to keep valuable artwork in galleries and museums for all the public to enjoy instead of them being bought by private collectors. The stall is run by a young art lover who thinks the Art Fund is a great charity to be raising money for “because all people should have easy access to great art. In my opinion, art is crucial to our lives as it asks questions about the world around us”. Handmade gifts from hanging love hearts, to intricate candle holders will be for sale. THE COMMUTE CYCLE CAFE CALL IN FOR A GREAT COFFEE AT 20 LEEDS ROAD - LS29 8DS We are delighted to have The Commute Cycle Cafe as the 2019 Trail cafe. Lauren and Gavin run the bustling cafe and cycle workshop close to the centre of Ilkley. 7 TOWN HALL VENUE 1 Ilkley Arts is delighted to be able to use the imposing Town Council chamber in the Town Hall again this year to showcase a piece of work from every artist on the Trail plus a small display of Lucia Smith’s work. This proved very popular during the 2017 Trail - so make it your first stop on the Trail to get a great overview of what joys await.

  • Blue Plaque Trail 1
    TAKE A STROLL WITH THE U3A AND CIVIC SOCIETY ALONG ILKLEY’S BLUE PLAQUE TRAIL If you are looking for a purpose in your lockdown walk through Ilkley, you can do no better than to follow the trail of Ilkley’s blue plaque historic buildings. These are featured in two new talks offered by Ilkley & District U3A and Ilkley Civic Society given by leading local historian, Alex Cockshott. The online Zoom talks, in February and March, will be available to watch on the U3A’s website once they have occurred and are open to the general public. Through this collaboration with the U3A, Ilkley Civic Society hopes to broadcast the talks to a wider audience than those of the two organisations involved, so that everyone living in the town and surrounding area has access to this fascinating local history. Blue plaques were first erected in London in 1867 and are now in most historic towns. The Civic Society is responsible for developing the idea in Ilkley, and the Town Hall plaque was the first to be unveiled in June 2004. Since then, twenty plaques have been erected, the most recent in November 2020 at the Rombalds Apartments, formerly Rombalds Hotel, on Wells Road. The blue plaques celebrate the history of Ilkley and the buildings that have shaped the town. In her talks, Alex takes a walk back in time, to highlight some of the more interesting facts about the history of the buildings and the people who built or lived in them. The first presentation, in February, will look at ten blue plaque sites on a trail from the Town Hall up towards Ilkley Moor.

The theme this year is ‘Press for Progress’. There has never been a more important time for us to press forward and progress gender parity.

  • Completed Copy Prog 2020-2021
    Dear Members and Prospective Members, What unusual and historic times we are living through at present! This, my first Introduction in our annual Programme of Interest Groups, is being written under COVID-19 lockdown conditions amidst great uncertainty about both the timing of lifting of restrictions and the format such lifting might take. Our Programme Planning Team have been very active throughout and we are aiming to resume our activities as soon as we get Government permission, it is deemed safe to resume group meetings, and individual Group Leaders are comfortable about re-starting their sessions. Because of the COVID-19 uncertainties, there may well have to be flexibility in how we re- start our activities; this Programme is our guide to what we hope to offer but any changes will be made continuously to our website so that current information will always be available there. You can check it out via our new, shorter website address https://ilkleyu3a.org/ As the U3A is all about learning together and sharing our experiences and helping to make things work, this Programme is offering you an excellent opportunity to try something new and meet new people, and make potential new friends. So do take time to browse through this Programme and seek out such opportunities and be brave enough to experiment with something new; you never know what you might enjoy until you try it. Thanks must go to all our Group Leaders who put in lots of time and energy to share their enthusiasms and knowledge with their Interest Groups and special thanks to all the Programme Planning Team, under Mary Podesta’s leadership; Sue Butler, Pam Lamming and Eric Craigie who have all worked very hard to make this very varied Programme possible.
