The Inspirations festival, organised by City of York Council's Adult and Community Education service, is now in its sixth year and will take place next week, showcasing the work of over 100 adult education learners.

Residents and visitors are invited to enjoy a showcase of creative work by adult learners from across the city on Friday 5 and Saturday 6 March at the Merchant Adventurers' Hall in York.

The festival is designed to give learners an opportunity to express themselves and celebrate their learning, and will feature pieces from painting and drawing classes including, sculptures, ceramics, textiles, watercolours, jewellery pieces, photographs, interior design and a range of work from community arts courses.

Not only will there be an opportunity to see some of the exciting artwork created by adult education learners, there is also an opportunity to take part in workshops and a community textiles project over the two days, all taking place at the Merchant Adventurers' Hall.
