About Us
the Gallery
Situated in Norway Square, amongst the narrow streets of former fishermen’s cottages in Virgin Street, Teetotal Street, or Salubrious Place, this big, light, airy gallery was once the main body of the former Mariners Church.
The Society officially made the church our home in 1945 following the Second World War.
It currently houses the society’s annual exhibitions of paintings in oil, acrylic and watercolour, of prints from etchings or lino cuts and of woodcarvings and sculptures.
There are three main exhibitions of members work with new submissions for the Spring, Summer and Autumn shows. There are also separate exhibitions by invited artists interleaved between the main exhibitions.
Society Membership
The Society holds applications for membership in the second week of January when places become available.
Artists will need to bring between 4-6 pieces of their work to the gallery along with an application form which will be made available here.
Join our mailing list to be informed when applications open and for more information.
