Dali Check Scamming
Salvador Dalí used to draw on the back of restaurant checks knowing the restaurant owners would rather keep his tiny doodle than cash the check.

July Open Studios: A Strong Success
The July 18–19 Open Studios weekend drew an estimated 1,700 visits to 22 studio and group locations, where 30 artists welcomed guests into their creative spaces. Now in its 30th year, the event enjoyed fair weather and an enthusiastic turnout. Many artists reported that their sales were their best ever, and guests went home with treasures.
The next Open Studios weekend takes place August 29–30, 10 AM–4 PM. The event continues to grow into a regional attraction, with roughly half of all visitors coming from outside Hull. This family‑friendly tradition offers art lovers of all ages a chance to explore local creativity and enjoy meaningful, personal interactions with the artists who make Hull’s arts community so vibrant.
