The Hepworth Wakefield continues its exceptional first year, with visitor figures exceeding all expectations. Gallery director Simon Wallis said, 'We have attracted over 360,000 visitors since opening in late May 2011 and we are now one of the most visited galleries in the UK.'
'When it comes to art it’s not just about London. There is a collegiate mentality and mutual support among the art organisations in the region and the quality of spaces is undoubtedly world class'
'This renaissance is being driven by ordinary people who have a growing desire to see and experience art in their own back yard. What is so pleasing for us is not only the numbers of people coming through our doors, but the amount of time they spend here. There is a real thirst to find meaningful experiences and visual art can provide that.'
Sumo developed the launch campaign for The Hepworth Wakefield, and our design team are now working on promoting the exhibition programme for 2012.
