Jessica Rost awarded Yorkshire Graduate Award 2021

2021 Yorkshire Graduate Award artist invites us to rethink how we can live in better harmony with nature

Having just completed my MFA at University of Leeds, and graduating with a distinction, I’m so excited to have been selected for this annual award.

YSP’s Yorkshire Graduate Award is an opportunity for recent graduates to reflect and move forward with their practice. It includes a residency at the park; access to metal and wood workshop facilities and studio space; a budget for materials for the development of new ideas; time with YSP’s skilled technical team; and critiques and guidance from the curatorial team. The award has previously resulted in new and exciting projects from past awardees, including the current exhibition by Kedisha Coakley in the Upper Space at YSP and the recent project by Hannah and Jasmine Cash.

I’m very much looking forward to taking up my residency at the park in the spring of 2022.
