Many of the artists trained at local Mechanics\u2019 Institutes or the later art schools in Bradford, Keighley and Shipley. Works often focus on local landscapes. Whilst urban scenes, such as Arthur McArthur\u2019s 1870s views of Bradford which predate even the grand Victorian architecture show dramatic change. Rural scenes of canals, rivers, farmland and moors remain more familiar. The exhibition highlights both the more traditional painters and those who broke away from the conventions of the past.<\/p>\n<p>The gallery below shows a small selection of the artists on show.

It is always something a bit special; a chance for regular exhibitors to prepare new work, the past year\u2019s soloists to return with potential Christmas offerings and to give space to new artists who have caught the eye during the year. The front exhibition space in the gallery may have as many as 20 artists work on show. There is always a little uncertainty as to what turns up on installation day, but an eclectic mix can be expected, with no themes, no tonal co-ordination- and a huge range of media- a true Christmas Variety Show, with something to suit all tastes. With concerns over the global supply chain in the run up to Christmas, it is good to know that locally produced goods are still available, with the additional benefits of minimal, transport-related, carbon emissions, support for local producers, and the survival of independent retailers. The Bingley Gallery, has been based on Park Road, Bingley for the past 15 years, originally under the ownership of Jane Fielder and more recently by David Starley. Both are artists themselves, and both continue the tradition of supporting many other talented artists that work in our region by providing exhibition space and marketing for them.<\/span><\/div>","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9453","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bingley-gallery","category-exhibitions"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9453","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9453"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9453\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9480,"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9453\/revisions\/9480"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8600"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9453"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9453"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9453"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
