Introduction

Welcome to Open Up North 2014. Welcome to Open Up North 2014. Welcome to Open Up North 2014. Welcome to Open Up North 2014. This exhibition is a highpoint of the Brewery’s Visual Arts calendar. Through it the arts centre develops relationships with artists from across the North of England; forging links which have in the past led to new commissions and exhibition opportunities. We look forward to establishing exciting relationships with OUN artists in the future. The Brewery has for a number of years sought to work with emerging artists to develop their practice. Open Up North 2014 has provided a platform to expand this work and to support over thirty emerging artists with a programme of professional development sessions, in partnership with Castlefield Gallery, over the coming year. Additionally three emerging artists will embark on a year of in depth professional development and mentoring with the Brewery and Castlefield, culminating in an exhibition of their latest work in summer 2015. We are particularly indebted to the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation for supporting this programme. Among the many organisations and individuals we should mention, special thanks must be extended to Lakeland Arts and Kendal College for providing venues for Open Up North 2014. This exhibition is a further example of how organisations in South Lakeland achieve outstanding cultural opportunities through partnership and co-operation. Thank you for coming to Open Up North. Don’t forget that much of the work on display is for sale and your purchases support the careers of artists and help the Brewery to develop its free visual arts programme. Most of all enjoy the show.
