arts & culture Yorkshire galleries join forces
Four Yorkshire art galleries, within 30-minutes drive of each other, will work together to promote the county as the sculpture capital of Europe, in an initiative supported by Welcome to Yorkshire and the Arts Council England (ACE). The Yorkshire Sculpture
Triangle will include the Henry Moore Institute, Te Hepworth Gallery, Leeds Art Gallery and Yorkshire Sculpture Park and will be promoted through a major marketing campaign. Currently the free entry galleries, which include 200 artists within 30 miles, attract more than 1m visitors a year. Regional director of ACE Cluny Macpherson

As an extension to our already successful HALO®
Performance Te Hepworth Gallery is one of the institutions taking part in the scheme Welcome to Yorkshire chief executive Gary
said the partnership would help people rec- ognise Yorkshire’s pre-eminence in modern sculpture. Te county was home to two of the 20th century’s most important sculptors, Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore.
Verity said the partnership would make it easy for those keen to see some of the best sculp- ture in the world. He said: “We will be highlighting how to get
to Yorkshire, how to travel from gallery to gal- lery as well as signposting visitors towards the great places to stay and impressive places to eat.” Details:

Tate Modern attracts record visitor numbers
Te Tate Modern welcomed a record 5.3m visitors in 2012, an increase of 9.5 per cent on 2011. Te Damien Hirst exhi- bition alone –which ran from 4 April – 9 September 2012 – attracted 463,000 people to the London art gallery. Its successful year has also
been attributed to the open- ing of the Tanks live art space in summer, Tino Sehgal’s per- formance art in the Turbine Hall and the popular Edvard Munch exhibition. Par tner gallery Tate
