Inspired by A Beacon for the Arts
Thanks to funding from AirBnB Best of British Fund, the North York Moors Arts and Culture Partnership was able to commission local artist Ros Walker to create a piece that represents A Beacon for the Arts, shining a light on creativity within the North York Moors National Park.
This sculptural piece seeks to incorporate these qualities, to celebrate the rich artistic heritage of the North York Moors, and to represent the unique quality of this area.
