Exhibition spaces

At Beverley Art Gallery there are multiple gallery spaces to explore, temporary exhibitions and highlights of our collections.

Our permanent collection is displayed in the beautifully restored Edwardian space, which housed the original gallery founded by Edward Champney in 1910. The collection consists of mainly Victorian, Edwardian and modern art, with main focus on celebrating the local artists Fred and Mary Elwell. The Elwells are great examples of Edwardian painting with their impact reaching far beyond Beverley. A wealth of information on Fred and Mary Elwell is available on fredelwell.org.

Beverley Art Gallery has a lively programme of temporary exhibitions, displayed in the elegant extension from the 1920s. These range from contemporary and multimedia exhibitions to traditional displays, celebrating local, national and international artists.
