BLACK GOLD
23 January - 7 March
 
The exhibition’s title, Black Gold, references the historical impact and value that coal had to Barnsley in terms of its industrial history. Barnsley became known as the heart of the South Yorkshire coalfield. Past generations toiled and risked their lives to pull this black rock from the ground. As time and regeneration have covered signs of this industry it still impacts our landscape both mental and physical and we continue to live its legacy. 

This exhibition features work by 5 contemporary artists based in Barnsley.

Barrie Jones, John Ledger, Patrick Murphy, Mikk Murray, Jo Pearson

The work on show reflects their own personal relationships with the town and its history.
