More and more people these days are discovering the joys of living with original art. In an age when most things are mass-produced, there is something very satisfying about a picture created by one person, something you will not see in countless other homes and shops and that bears the signs of a human hand instead of a bar code.
Membership includes many established British contemporary artists as well as some recent graduates.
Competition is now so fierce to become a member that the public is guaranteed excellence in addition to a huge choice of styles and prices from the broad selection of works to see at the Gallery. An artist is always on duty in the Gallery and able to show extra works from members' plan chests and provide general advice. They are not copies of an existing original but are originals themselves. With the plate, block, screen or stone, the artist can print more than one of the same image, enabling them to be sold for less than a one-off. Artists' prints are produced in limited editions, and the number is often as few as 10 or 15 prints, sometimes less.
