About Eileen Adams: Agent of Change
Agent of Change showed how revolutionary initiatives have prompted change in art, design and environmental education.
Visual education has taken art out of the gallery into school grounds and onto the street. Collaborations between pupils, teachers, architects, planners and artists have created new learning opportunities. You can learn to draw, but you can also draw to learn!
Agent of Change – along with Adams' latest book, Visual Literacy, published in autumn 2015 by the Loughborough Design Press – was exhibited in the National Arts Education Archive (NAEA) at YSP in 2015.

James Turrell: Deer Shelter Skyspace
The Deer Shelter Skyspace creates a place of contemplation and revelation, harnessing the changing light of the Yorkshire sky. It allows us to take time to sit, to think, and to contemplate; an open invitation to access a peacefulness that is often denied in our busy lives that abound with technology and speed.
