21st CENTURY DATING EXPERIENCE...

                          At the Yorkshire Sculpture Park!

Speed dating joins together with the YSP to target singles waiting to find love again!

One of Britain’s most treasured parks is changing the face of dull and traditional dating by turning it on its head and holding its own unique dating experience launching this summer 2010!

This means singles from around the country will be given the chance to meet potential partners face to face in a friendly atmosphere and have a truly amazing experience!

Studies have shown that speed dating allows you to bond with the person in front of you and  connect in just 50 seconds, so 3 minutes is plenty of time to discuss interests and ‘a bit about you’. When the perfect partner is found its time to begin with the events!

Singles attending the speed dating and events are URGED to bring along a friend to enjoy and share the experience with, after all the more the merrier!. Not only will they benefit from it, YSP will also bloom from the increased numbers in the friendship scheme. Costing just £20 for the whole year to join and become a friend means its well worth investing in, and also means that the Park, a registered charity, gets support for its activities and events too!

Some of the events taking place include mini sculpture making with a special end of month exhibition to showcase final work, wine tasting, themed restaurant night (Spanish, Italian, Greek and French etc), music events, outdoor cinema showings, laser questing (yes you read it right!) and tree carving all designed to help along conversation and romance! Aside from the events it also means there is time to take advantage of the parks beautiful surroundings. The indoor shop also offers a wide range of fantastic products with a brand new line of exclusive products to new friends of the sculpture park including cushions, wellies, t-shirts, tableware, birdhouses and one-off designed prints all with a 10 % discount which is awarded to all friends on the scheme!

Research: Press release example from YSP website

Artist Rob Ryan will be transforming the Visitor Centre at Yorkshire

Sculpture Park this winter as his imaginative paper cuts and screen prints

go on display from 11 November. Famed for his detailed hand-cutting of

delicate papers into intricate patterns, often revealing whimsical stories or

poetic phrases, Ryan will be decorating the four metre-long shop window

at YSP with a huge paper cut panel. Framed one-off paper cuts and

limited edition screen prints, exclusive to YSP, will be on display

throughout the Centre.

Decorated vinyl panels by Ryan will also adorn the concourse windows in

the Visitor Centre, and a hardback 64 page book featuring in-situ

photography, an essay by Clare Dwyer Hogg and an interview with Ryan

will accompany the exhibition. A range of items bearing Ryan's inimitable

handiwork will be available in the YSP Shop, including an exclusive laser

cut Christmas card.

Ryan has worked on a diverse array of commissions and collaborations

with names such as Paul Smith, Tatty Devine, Earnest Sewn, Vogue and

Elle. He has produced Easter egg packaging for Fortnum and Mason

and designed a shop window display for Liberty. His creations are also on

homewares sold at his East London shop, Ryantown. He has illustrated

book jackets for authors including Louis De Bernieres and Jackie Kay

and is currently working on a children’s book with Poet Laureate Carol

Ann Duffy. His own illustrated book, This Is for You, was published in

2007.

The YSP Shop continually sources innovative contemporary craft and

design items, for home and garden, and high quality gifts and jewellery,

providing a unique alternative to high street shopping. Arts Council

England's Own Art Interest Free Scheme is available for purchases from

contemporary craft show, which this year plays host to four recent

graduates who are showing 2D and 3D work in a mixture of materials

including found objects, ceramics, textiles and paper. Using innovative

techniques, these graduates have produced highly covetable pieces of

contemporary art. The exhibition also features exciting work by 30

jewellers, using materials such as, paper, textiles, silver, gold, acrylic,
