Gallery Late: Bloom with Cake Decorating Workshop – Thu 21 Sep 2023

Gallery Late: Bloom with Cake Decorating Workshop
Gallery Late: Bloom with Cake Decorating Workshop
Thursday 21 September 2023
6 pm – 9 pm 
Tickets: £18 per person (includes workshop and exhibition entry) 
Explore our latest exhibition ‘Bloom’ after hours and join artists Jade Blood and Melanie Alexandrou for a ‘Bloom’ inspired cake-decorating experience with a twist!
Enjoy the beautiful artwork on display accompanied by a live DJ set of ambient and experimental music inspired by, made for or made by plants. Delicious floral cocktails will be available from York Art Gallery’s cafe, Sketch.
York Art Gallery commissioned York based artist Jade Blood to create an installation for the exhibition, and the exciting work titled Gardeners’ World, features cake throughout as a symbol of indulgence and a metaphor for climate emergency through an eco-feminist lens. Jade invited long-term collaborator, Melanie Alexandrou to create recipes using plants and flowers for a free limited edition zine which is available for visitors to read alongside the installation. Utilising plants and flowers from York Art Gallery’s Edible Wood in the Artists’ Garden, come along to this Gallery Late and decorate your very own mini vegan cake to take home (or eat right away!).
The cake decorating workshop will have 20-minute time slots available throughout the evening. Participants can sign up upon arrival.
Please note the cakes used in the cake decorating workshop contain soy and gluten / wheat, and are not produced in a nut free zone.
