Year of the Dealer - Events

We have organised 2 ‘Year of the Dealer’ (YoD) Project workshops and 2 ‘In Conversation’ events so far, hosted by selected participating museums.  – National Museums Scotland, Edinburgh, (Edinburgh), The Bowes Museum (Barnard Castle), The Lady Lever Art Gallery (Liverpool), The Ashmolean Museum (Oxford), The V&A Museum (London) and Preston Park Museum (Stockton).  We are now also organising further YoD events at Temple Newsam, The Lady Lever Art Gallery and The Bowes Museum later in 2022.

Our plans for the re-staging the play ‘Quinneys’ - the now little known, but important stage-play, were scuppered by the pandemic in 2o20, but as a result we made Quinneys into a film, with screenings in early 2022. You can now view our film 'Quinneys' in the YoD project YouTube
