Mike Gale: Rural Perspective
6 May - 31 May 2025
Mike's inspiration comes from walking in the local countryside all year round. He finds there’s always something new to see, even in places he's visited many times before. Mike uses photographs and sketches as base material to produce paintings that he hopes give a feeling of presence.
The Balcony Gallery
Ten years of Linocut: Eric Gaskell
9 May - 31 May 2025
This is a very small selection of linocuts made between 2014 and 2024. It doesn't show all of the work by Gaskell by any means, but it is a representation of the genre's, cutting, inking and printing methods he has used during that time.

Mark Curtis Hughes: Ocean of Noise
17- 28 June 2025
“Ocean of Noise” is a collection of works created over the last eight years. Mark Curtis Hughes imagines a journey through the chaos and nuance of everyday life with a series of busy crowd scenes you can lose yourself in. Each papercut is made freehand with a scalpel, the compositions aren’t drawn out on the paper first. The process is like drawing with a scalpel. The Floor One and Balcony Galleries Programme 2025

Artists get the use of 17.75 linear metres of wall space clad to the same standard as the Art Gallery on the second floor.
