By Feilden Fowles

Emerging from the site of a former millstone grit quarry and embracing views over 18th century landscape, The Weston is a new gallery and visitor centre designed by Feilden Fowles for Yorkshire Sculpture Park, the UK’s leading open-air gallery. The Weston marks a significant milestone in the park’s heritage, forming a new entrance, opening up a lesser-known swathe of parkland and offering a place of shelter, embodying YSP’s driving purpose to enable open access to art for all. This short collection of written and visual essays – with contributions from Founding and Executive Director Peter Murray, Director of Programme Clare Lilley and artist Richard Wentworth – describes Feilden Fowles’ journey to realise a new gateway to the park; a place from which to explore beyond.
