In Gallery 1, discover artworks from the Young Gallery's permanent collection of over 4,000 objects. The exhibition explores watercolours, prints, drawings, oils, photography and books. Alongside works by major British artists, the exhibition includes works by Edwin Young, Robin Tanner and Mick Maslen as well as books and personal items owned by the author John Creasey. The display also highlights the history of the Gallery, which moved to its current location 50 years ago.
The current display includes works by Henry Moore, Lucian Freud, John Nash, David Hockney, Fay Godwin and many more. The display in Gallery 1 will rotate intermittently throughout the year to enable more of the collection to be seen.
In Gallery 2, 'Edgar Barclay's Stonehenge' runs until Saturday 10 May 2025, and features a free family friendly trail. Edgar Barclay (1842-1913) was an artist and author. He studied art in Italy and Germany and was known for his landscape paintings. When Barclay returned to England in the early 1880s, he became interested in rural scenes around Salisbury, particularly Stonehenge. He produced a series of artworks exploring the ancient monument, some of which are now held in the Young Gallery's permanent collection. This exhibition exhibits these artworks along with the book Barclay published on the subject, offering a unique perspective on Stonehenge and the surrounding landscape.
In Gallery 3 from Friday 14 February to Saturday 29 March see diverse artwork created by local schools as part of the annual Salisbury Schools exhibition.
This vibrant exhibition features work from the following schools:
Bishop Wordsworth's School, Burgate School, Leehurst Swan School, Moyles Court School, Salisbury Cathedral School, Salisbury Sixth Form College, Sarum Academy, South Wilts Grammar School and Warminster Senior School.
