Art Exhibitions

The Art Gallery, aka The Eileen Whelan Room, has three large hanging surfaces  with modern lighting and display systems. In exceptional circumstances two further large display surfaces in the Reception area can also be used.

Fellowship’s aim is to provide local artists with a free display facility for the enjoyment and interest of its members and Suburb residents. No charge is made for displaying artwork neither is commission taken on sales. Admission is free and all are welcome. Assistance can be given with hanging and with local publicity. Exhibitions usually last for at least a month. Insurance is the responsibility of exhibitors.

Guaranteed opening times are set for each exhibition. In addition the Art Gallery will be open whenever the building is open and the room is not being used for other purposes.

Current Exhibition

Annie Walker

A collection of seven stunning works. Annie writes :  “After moving to the Suburb in 1981 I decided to take up painting again.  Painting had been my first interest, but after the first year at King’s College, Newcastle on Tyne where Victor Pasmore was launching a new method of teaching modern abstract art  I fled to the sculpture department where teaching was more traditional.  For the next twenty years or so I struggled to earn a living and completed many commissions for portrait sculpture.
These copies were made to teach myself the techniques of painting and composition.  I was delighted when Richard Wakefield opened the Suburb Gallery in Hampstead Way about 30 years ago which solved the problem of where to find commissions”.
The exhibition is open on April 29th, May 6th and May 13th between 2pm and 4pm and at other times/days when the building is open and the Eileen Whelan Room is not being used for other purposes. The exhibition will run until May 15th and may return in July. Look out for details.
