Blyth Festival Art Gallery

A vibrant and integral part of the Blyth Centre for the Arts, Blyth Festival Art Gallery exhibitions are housed in the Bainton Gallery. The Gallery is physically attached to Blyth Community Memorial Hall.

The Blyth Festival Art Gallery is operated by an enthusiastic group of art-loving volunteers.  The President of the Gallery Committee, Carl Stevenson, says:

“Art needs to be felt to be experienced, to be emotionally connected to the viewer. What better way can we do that, than to once again visit the gallery space, to experience and celebrate local art while taking in what downtown Blyth has to offer?”
