The Flash Residency Project #1
That's it, our very first Flash Residency project is over! Firstly we would like to give a massive thanks to Beam, Wakefield for funding the project and giving us the opportunity as part of the Playful City's commissions. Also a huge thanks to our fantastic artists Helen Thomas, Zara Noble, Chris Singleton and Becca Hoy, and to all of the staff at The Ridings Shopping Centre for being so supportive. We had a fantastic response from the public and the artists, and plan to continue growing The Flash Residency Project very soon... Until next time!

Timid Elk
Whilst in the Flash Residency Space, local emerging artist Timid Elk (Becca Hoy) recycled used Train tickets to create a intricate wall hanging.
