More information

Ella Cronk is Partnerships and Programme Manager at Yorkshire Sculpture International, where she brings together four major institutions: Leeds Art Gallery, Henry Moore Institute, The Hepworth Wakefield and Yorkshire Sculpture Park to build on the rich heritage of sculpture in Yorkshire.

Her focus is on nurturing a strong sense of place, creating welcoming opportunities for artists and local communities to connect and contribute to the region’s cultural story today.

Nature: Sensory is a project led by artists Michelle Duxbury and Sam Metz, that centres alternative readings and understanding of landscape that are wider than the visual and incorporate other senses.

It is funded by a Culture Grant from Wakefield Council as part of Our Year – Wakefield District 2024 and supported by The Art House.
