Last weekend of the Little Artists @ HIVE Gallery

This weekend (Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th July) is the last weekend of the fantastic Little Artists show at Creative Barnsley's new HIVE Gallery space at Elsecar Heritage Centre. It's the last chance to see an eclectic and exciting range of artworks paying homage in Lego, Smurfs and Sindy doll toilet roll holders to leading lights in the contemporary art field such as Damien Hirst and Grayson Perry.

The Little Artists are John Cake and Darren Neave and their work examines cultural identity, branding and what it means to be a contemporary artist through adopting the concept of the figure of the artist as a logo, a brand name, a lifestyle choice. Their work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is highly sought after by collectors of contemporary art.
