Thoughts from The Studio Gallery

With funding cuts rife in the art world, it seems that many galleries, through necessity, treat commercialism as king. It is therefore really great to be able to put on an exhibition with an installation piece at its heart. I'm not saying choosing a non-commercial route is easy, or without its own costs, and without funding it's a difficult balancing act. But I feel genuinely privileged to be in a position to be able to show relevant, but not necessarily commercial work at The Studio Gallery.

This is what The Studio Gallery  is about. Facilitating and celebrating the success of emerging artists without overwhelming the gallery or the artists with  financial concerns. If you purchase work from The Studio Gallery, which i hope you will do, you should know that 100% of the money goes straight to the artist. The Studio Gallery believes it is important to ensure that the artist is involved in, and has experience of, every stage of the process of putting on an exhibition.  Once there is an awareness of the process, there can hopefully be a greater understanding between gallery and artist in the future.

The Studio Gallery's  aim is to be a place where artists and performers can be in charge of their own exhibition, in a safe, nurturing and friendly environment, before spreading their wings and tackling the big world outside of Scarborough.
