Becks, Banks, Drains and Brains
A new exhibition exploring the history of the River Hull valley and how it became one of England's best-drained marshland areas. It has been created by the community-led River Hull Valley Drainage Heritage Group. Chairman Professor Ian Reid said: "At the Norman Conquest, the Hull valley was one of England's most extensive areas of marshland, second only to the Fens. We hope the stories of how these formerly inaccessible and insalubrious lands were dramatically altered through drainage to produce high-quality agricultural land and vibrant communities will appeal."

Five Yorkshire artists
This Bridlington show features five artists with differing approaches to the human form. Angela Chalmers uses the process of painting and printmaking, pouring and dripping a limited palette of earth-coloured washes onto various supports. Sally Gatie paints both large-scale and small-scale artworks, using oil on canvas. Bren Head's portraits evolve through an exploration of traditional techniques, with more unconventional media and methods. Barry Carter studied portraiture and figure painting at York School of Art. Since 1992 he has concen- trated predominantly on landscape painting, but for this show he has returned to the human form. Jill Carter favours domestic interiors such as her Edwardian house in Cottingham and East Riding pubs and music venues where jazz musicians perform.
