Art Journeys at the York Residency Museum

Plein air painting is the act of painting outdoors. You may be familiar and already hooked to this practice or just want to try it for the first time. We invite you to come along to the Residency Museum grounds, pitch your easel and have a go. A tour of our art collection will round off the day.

Art assists us to understand and document our experiences and our view of the world. In historical museums, these shared visual stories, play an important role in capturing evidence of past places, events and people. Join our curator Annie Q. Medley as she discusses works from the collection and the stories they reveal about the historic town of York.
