BLACK GOLD
21 January - 7 March
Private View 28 January 7 - 9pm
The exhibition?s title, Black Gold, references the historical impact and value that coal had
to Barnsley in terms of its industrial history. Barnsley became known as the heart of the
South Yorkshire coalfield. Past generations toiled and risked their lives to pull this black
rock from the ground. As time and regeneration have covered signs of this industry it still
impacts our landscape both mental and physical and we continue to live its legacy.
This exhibition features work by 5 contemporary artists based in Barnsley.
Patrick Murphy / John Ledger / Jo Pearson / Daniel Hird / Barrie Jones
The work on show reflects their own personal relationships with the town and its history.
For more information on individual artists or any other aspect of the exhibition please

This is a brilliant resource that I'm looking forward to using with my students on Monday morning.
