Current Exhibitions

We currently have two exhibitons. Both started on the 23rd June and will run to the 3rd of July open 12 - 4 Monday to Friday.

Pop Art Reloaded

Ahead of his second solo exhibition in New York we are delighted to have Stephen Collett presenting his largest and most audacious show yet.

"Pop art Reloaded" relates closely to contemporary living and the modern desire to express one's self through a purchased lifestyle influenced by sex appeal or fashion.

Stephen's large, bold pieces of modern art are a move on his part away from his impressionistic roots to tackle the canvas in a completely original way.

Just click on the image above to see some samples from his exhibition.


Collidoscope

At the end of June we welcome back the Collidoscope collective with their own highly individual and diverse styles and media, ranging from representational to expressionist and abstract work.

Just click on the image on the left to see some samples from the exhibition.

Recent Exhibitions

JFS (Works for You)

An exhibition by three established local artists - June Lornie, Frank Hendry and Stan Cummings with "Works for You".

Click on JFS Link to see samples from the exhibition.

June is drawn to both the textures and colours of different materials using exotic fabrics, gold leaf, diamante, acrylic and pastel, in fact anything she thinks would enhance her work, to produce her highly decorative and dramatic pictures.

Frank has exhibited for many years in Liverpool and in the Academy, his scenes of Ireland, the Lake District and, of course, Liverpool especially the docks and pictures of the Blitz.

Stan, at one time a glass-blower and sculptor, has since retiring devoted his time to painting, and produces many works, some of them showing the beauty of Canada.


42nd Street

Our second Open exhibition of the year was on the theme of the musical "42nd Street". It was an Open exhibition and there were three prizes of £100, £75, and £50, sponsored by Queenie's charity, which were presented by Herbert of Liverpool at the private view.

We ran this exhibition in partnership with the Birkenhead Operatic Society. who are staging a production of the musical at Liverpool's Empire theatre at the beginning of May.
