Folklore, Myths and Legends


  • Eastgate Studio 11 Eastgate England, HU17 0DR United Kingdom (map)

Join us for an evocative exhibition exploring the timeless world of folklore, myths and legends through contemporary printmaking.

From ancient stories of gods and heroes to local legends, fairy tales, and modern myths, folklore has shaped cultures and sparked imaginations across the globe. Today, contemporary folklore continues to thrive in many forms, folk art, songs and dances, legends, children’s rhymes, proverbs, and more.

In this exhibition, our members and associate members present new print-based works inspired by these rich traditions. Through a diverse range of techniques and visual storytelling, they reinterpret tales old and new, revealing the universal themes, moral lessons, and enduring mysteries woven into human culture.

Come and experience how folklore lives on, transformed and reimagined for the present day
