Richard ‘Dick’ Young - ‘…Quite Charming’

Private View
Thursday 26th June 2008
6 - 8pm

Exhibition Open
Friday 27th June to Friday 18th July 2008

Admission - Free

‘…Quite Charming’ is a retrospective of works by Richard ‘Dick’ Young (1921 - 2003) legendary Liverpool denizen and artist. His own master as a painter, he held on to his own individuality, free from external pressure, despite dramatic changes in artistic practice during his colourful lifetime. Once known as ‘Liverpool’s best kept secret’, Young was an artist who relished the life of the practitioner and into which he poured his energy. This exhibition is a unique and rare opportunity to witness the works of one of Liverpool’s most talented and unsung characters. If he had been asked about such a show, close friends of Young’s would have anticipated a well rehearsed riposte of ‘…quite charming!’

Exciting new creative volunteering opportunities with the National Trust

Liverpool People and Places, The Photography of E. Chambré Hardman

Friendly creative people required to facilitate art workshops /hands-on activities and invigilate a touring exhibition of community art and photography inspired by the iconic collection of the prolific Liverpool photographer Edward Chambré Hardman.
The work is the result of a city wide project with the exhibition touring public spaces across Liverpool during 2008.

This is a great chance to be creative with people from all walks of life and invigilate an art exhibition in unusual venues. Will provide invaluable experience of working on a new project with the National Trust and will suit people with an interest in art, photography, local history, community work and education.
May involve some creative workshops with hospital in-patients.

Travel expenses will be reimbursed and 50 hours of volunteering will be awarded with a National Trust volunteer card which is equivalent to membership for 1 year. It gives free entry to all National Trust sites, free parking and discount in shops and cafes.
All ages welcome.
