点评:Visited this wonderful gallery on a blustery December morning that obviously kept most people out of town. Very quiet in the well lit, well planned main gallery (formerly the Victorian assembly rooms), so the friendly, clued-up staff were able to talk to us about the New Light touring show by Northern artists, and about the interesting history of this lovely community artspace.
The selling exhibition, which is a temporary show closing at the end of December 2024, comprised many high quality works, mostly by artists with whom we were not familiar - always a bonus. The work was well hung and we spent a good hour there.
We'll definitely put the Mercer on our itinerary next time we're in the area. It's a credit to the town and to the art lovers of North Yorkshire who help to make it happen. Thank you.
翻译:在十二月的一个寒风凛冽的早晨参观了这个美妙的画廊,显然大多数人都无法进入城镇。光线充足、规划良好的主画廊(以前是维多利亚式会议室)非常安静,友好、见多识广的工作人员能够与我们谈论北方艺术家的新光巡回展,以及这个可爱的社区艺术空间的有趣历史。
销售展览是一个临时展览,将于 2024 年 12 月底结束,包含许多高质量作品,大部分是来自我们不熟悉的艺术家——这总是一个额外的收获。作品挂得很好,我们在那里度过了一个愉快的小时。
下次我们来这个地区时,我们一定会把 Mercer 列入我们的行程。这要归功于这个小镇,也要归功于帮助实现这一目标的北约克郡艺术爱好者。谢谢。
