Art Life: South of the River | Family Funday Crafternoon

Julie Parkinson is a self-taught artist, currently in her final year of study for BA Hons Art Enterprise at Leeds City College. Parkinson’s practice has both a functional aspect creating dinner sets, glassware, vases etcetera . . . whilst also creating large scale interactive installations based around themes of mental health. In December 2019 she will be undertaking one of her installation projects as part of our programme here at BasementArtsProject. Before this Julie has, along with previous Basement exhibitor Michael Borkowsky, set in motion this forthcoming event as a fundraiser towards our programme here at the Basement. To Julie and Michael, BasementArtsProject salutes and thanx you from the bottom of our hearts (otherwise known as the Basement, that’s were mine lives) We hope you will be able to join us for this event on Wednesday.
