Sharing the love in 2026

We invite you to take part in our new fundraising scheme to help support exhibition opportunities for local education and community groups.

We are inviting people to create a piece of original artwork the size of an A5 postcard which they are willing to donate to the gallery to sell for £20. Proceeds of sales in 2026 will go directly to fund opportunities for local schools and care homes to exhibit in a professional gallery.
