our current exhibition, as the title suggests, is comprised of 300 little shiny fish made from porcelain and precious metals by iona calvert.

each unique fish bobbing on it’s own wire is for sale at £19.50 each with discounts for those wanting multiples or even a whole shoal. it’s a fascinating installation so please do pop in to have a look. it runs until the end of november.

‘tickle my fancy’ is a textile art installation by jan bee brown exploring the link between lace-making and sexuality. you can download the media release explaining the work here.

the exhibition runs until 2 july, 10-5 weekdays and lit up for peeking through the window until 10ish every night.

‘genius loci’ is the title of a brief given to each new cohort on the Yorkshire Coast Schools Creative & Media Diploma. it asks the students (all in their first year of CGSEs) to respond to Scarborough seafront in whatever medium they wish, to capture a sense of place from their unique perspective. the exhibition features photography, collage, model-making and audio/video works.

we’re proud of our association with the diploma and continually impressed with the quality of work produced and the attitude and creativity shown by the young people. we hope you’re able to pop in and see this selection of ‘genius loci’ responses and be equally impressed.

the exhibition runs monday-friday, 10-5 until the 24th february.

we first met jo when she attended one of the ‘tiny poetry’ nights we held in the gallery. ‘small beginnings’ is a series of prints ultimately destined for future publications, accompanying poems or short stories. a mix of woodcuts and etchings, each has a tale and jo will be a regular ‘artist-writer in residence’ over the course of the exhibition so people can pop in for a coffee and hear a story or two.

price range: £25-100

this exhibition is rather special for us. that’s because it’s a series of seascape photographs taken in scarborough by james rush (who, in case you don’t follow our other life as a design studio, is a partner in electric angel and soon departing for foreign climes.)

relationship with the environment has been an unintentional recurring theme with our tiny gallery, from rachel’s tree imagery at our launch exhibition through mark dickinson’s poetry and james’s relationship with the sea as someone who grew up here and as an experienced surfer is evident in the images on display.

prints are available priced at £15, £20 & £25.

lots of little acrobats take up residence in the gallery today. they’re the result of a workshop led by rebecca and local artist rachel welford at st. martins primary school. inspired by bob tuffin’s lifesize wire acrobats which we’re currently exhibiting in the trees outside our gallery, these wire characters will be on show over the school holidays.
