Private View
Tuesday 24th May, 2011
5.30pm - 7.30pm
The Orangery, Back Lane, Wakefield, WF1 2TG

Come and join us at The Orangery to celebrate Beam’s creative activity in the public realm over the past 10 years, which is dedicated to all those people we’ve worked with and those we will work with in the future. The evening will also see the official launch of the Orangery Academy, a new programme of learning and knowledge-sharing in Yorkshire, in collaboration with Integreat PLUS.

The exhibition explores Beam’s creative approach and range of projects, with an eye to the future of public spaces and places throughout Yorkshire and beyond. Over the next few months The Orangery Gallery will play host to an array of photographs, films and commissioned artwork alongside other media, charting Beam’s unique spread of activities and interactions from Wakefield to London, Finland, and Japan.

“It’s been an amazing decade for Beam and it seemed right to pause now and celebrate we’ve worked with so many great people in so many places. And we’re looking forward to the next decade too. So ‘Illuminate’ serves to carry forward the skills we’ve learned and the relationships we’ve made to mark both achievements and new beginnings.”
Robert Powell, Creative Director, Beam
