As winter settles in and keeps us indoors, an enticing calendar of events gives us reason to venture out. Consider our shortlist of five inspiring happenings, from a celebration of seasonal flowers to a nature-inspired print exhibition.
Angela Harding: A Chronicle of Birds and Beasts at Yorkshire Sculpture Park
This month, British painter, printmaker and illustrator Angela Harding is returning to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park a decade after her debut exhibition. A Chronicle of Birds and Beasts traces the artist's depictions of the natural world; across linocuts, screen-prints, oil paintings and wooden birds, she captures the character and vitality of the English countryside. The display will include a multi-panel artwork created exclusively for the show, printed by Selby-based master printmaker Dan Bugg.
Angela Harding: A Chronicle of Birds and Beasts is on at Yorkshire Sculpture Park Centre from 14 November.
Emma Kunz at Hauser & Wirth
Emma Kunz was a Swiss artist, researcher and poet whose geometric drawings explore the connection between nature and human consciousness. In this exhibition at Hauser & Wirth, her oeuvre offers an insight into how Kunz viewed herself, first and foremost, as a healer. Her works reflect a holistic approach to questions around spirituality and ecology, created using graph paper, coloured pencil and pendulum-guided methods.
The Emma Kunz exhibition is on at Hauser & Wirth Somerset from 7 November.
Winter Flowers Week at the Garden Museum
Winter Flowers Week is an annual tradition at the Garden Museum, where five floral designers transform the space with immersive botanical installations. Using British-grown flowers and foliage, the event celebrates the natural beauty and variety of seasonal flora, while providing inspiration for festive decoration. On Thursday 12 November, the museum will stay open late to introduce the installations and welcome visitors with live music, refreshments and a creative workshop.
Winter Flowers Week is on at the Garden Museum from 10-15 November.
