Main 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.

It 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.   Please look at our 2007 programme for dates.
