Island South Bank and the Good Swamp

An art exhibition about wetlands

This page is by Cath Mortimer. I’m a long-standing member of Planet South Bank, and I’ve been working with friends from PSB and elsewhere to create a multimedia art installation exploring our past, current and future relationships with wetland landscapes here in South Bank.

The exhibition will be open Saturday 31st October (10-4) and Sunday 1st November (12.30-4) at Southlands Methodist Church (Room 1), Bishopthorpe Road.

All are welcome; the space is fully accessible. Some pieces are delicate, so very small or lively children may need to be held.

Part of York Environment Festival 2026.
