Yvonne North Moorhouse was over the moon to be selected to represent Sheffield in the forthcoming Sister Cities Artists Exchange with Chengdu, China. Chengdu and Sheffield have been sister cities since 2010. The pairing is important for business links and now for artistic ventures. The two cities also share the name of a local football team: the Chengdu Blades are a successful Chinese club.
Harrison Moore, a Sheffield Post-Graduate Student, will also be there, as will other artists from around the world.
Whilst in Chengdu (8th-15th August) the Sheffield artists will have a busy eight day schedule which includes visiting local heritage sites, but time will be set aside for them to paint during their programme.

Two of their works of art inspired by the trip will then be left there and displayed at the "2012 China International Friendship Cities Conference" taking place in Chengdu in September.
Thereafter, they will be exhibited permanently in one of
the international museums in Tianfu Square.
Once Yvonne and Harrison are back in Sheffield, the Chengdu Municipal Government will be sending five artists to visit Sheffield for three days and to take part in a range of networking events with Sheffield artists. The chinese artists will also have the chance to take guided tours of the city, and work inspired by their trip will also be displayed as part of the ‘Sister Cities’ Conference back in Chengdu.
