This summer, The Art House is thrilled to bring an exciting new exhibition and installation by artist Charlotte Smithson, exploring the powerful connection between people, place, and nature. Inspired by her family roots in Wakefield, Smithson’s project invites visitors to reflect on how memories and emotions are tied to the spaces and landscapes we inhabit.

The exhibition will feature an immersive installation filled with living plants. Tree saplings will fill the gallery offering a space for calm and contemplation. The space will be nurtured by local residents and community groups, who are growing plants and flowers to incorporate into the sculpture.

This not-to-be-missed exhibition by Charlotte Smithson is an invitation to explore and celebrate the living stories woven into the city’s landscape, as we bring people together to examine how art and nature can foster a stronger, greener, and more connected Wakefield.
