New Exhibitions!

The Story So Far

Saturday 27 May 2023  –  Saturday 2 March 2024


Looking at the theme of storytelling, this exhibition includes highlights from The Atkinson’s collection and the Harris Art Gallery in Preston.

The Harris’s collection is built upon the wealth and personal collections of the textile manufacturers of the town. Richard Newsham, whose father made a fortune from cotton and from banking, left a sizeable bequest of paintings featuring work by the leading British artists of the day, several of which will be included in the exhibition. The Atkinson’s founding collections were acquired from the wealthy middle-class families that retired to the seaside resort of Southport or bought holiday homes in the town. Both collections received important founding bequests of narrative paintings and continued to develop this strand of collecting well into the twentieth century.

The exhibition will look at differing kinds of story-telling, from the illustration of literary and historical texts to coastal and rural genre as well as classical and domestic scenes. The exhibition will also include post-war and contemporary works of art, illustrating the galleries’ strategies for developing the narrative theme.

Me, Myself, MySPACE

Saturday 27 May 2023  –  Saturday 1 July 2023


Throughout art history, numerous artists have made self-portraits, many of which represented them in the act of painting. Self-portrait can be an expressive medium to explore the human condition, to confront one’s frailties and mortality, to engage with the issues of identity, diversity, and gender. The work created in Me, Myself, My SPACE is a collaborative effort that aims to empower young people to express themselves creatively, build self-confidence and celebrate their identities and ultimately, what makes them, them. New Beginnings have explored self-portraits through expressive and meaningful photography, art, moving images and music.

Working in collaboration with Open Eye Gallery.
