Exhibitions at The Point
The gallery at The Point is not just a place to come and look at inspiring art… it's a participatory gallery.
A beautiful light filled space where we exhibit work created by people who access our projects, where we use high quality exhibitions as stimuli for workshop sessions and where we work in partnership with emerging and established artists to create work specifically for the space.

Together we are Greater 15.03.10 - 30.04.10
Origami exhibition inspires a creative response. The Together we are Greater exhibition at The Point by artist Jacqui Symons featured a 25 metre sculpture made from 2,500 suspended origami boxes.
Using second-hand paper like old newspapers, magazines, books and wrapping paper Jacqui made individual boxes which she arranged to create a colourful sea of pattern, text, images and shape above the visitor’s head which gently moved in the breeze.
Matroyshka 22.11.10 - 07.01.11
Artist Kate Sully invitee the people of Doncaster to enter a larger than life world inhabited by giant Russian Dolls and an array of other iconic childlike objects.
The collection of wall pieces and mixed media sculptures take their inspiration from some of the contemporary issues faced by the world today like recycling and the effect of money and gambling on society.
Reconnection 17.01.11 - 11.03.11
Artist Dan Jones drew a picture a day throughout 2010 to create a unique record of the changes in landscape, season and activity in the villages of Barnburgh and Harlington.
Unlike taking photographs, drawing needs time and consideration to really observe and consider a place and what makes it unique. Dan distilled this understanding into four sculptures, one for each season, which were shown alongside the related drawings.
Real Skills exhibition 27.05.11 - 16.09.11
The ‘Real Skills for Real Opportunities’ exhibition helped people looking for work look at the issues they face and how they can start to overcome them and take steps towards getting a job.
Artist Dave Gillan built an enormous installation which encouraged people to share their experiences. These views have been used by artists to create courses designed to use creative activities to help people gain the skills they need to find work. Click here to find out more.
We Are 21 26.09.11 - 11.11.11

This multimedia exhibition in the gallery at The Point included pictures, artworks, objects, quotes, films and voice recordings. Visitors discovered how we use creative approaches to support people back into employment or to create posters to raise awareness of dementia. Click here to find out more.
Shifting Perspectives 21.11.11 - 27.01.12
This touring exhibition combined beautiful images by a group of photographers with a personal connection to people with Down’s Syndrome.
Shifting Perspectives is an experiment in the power of visual imagery in changing and challenging perspectives.
The images are of everyday interactions: people playing football, going for a walk, having a day out at the fairground… But the people in the photographs have Down Syndrome.To find out more about the impact this exhibition had on Doncaster please click here.
