About

The People's Gallery is a large, open space situated in the lower level of Kendal's celebrated museum, one of the oldest in Britain.

CURRENT EXHIBITION: Skulduggery by Fliss Watts

This exciting new exhibition at Kendal Museum's People's Gallery will showcase work by Cumbrian artist Fliss Watts from 15th August until 21st September. Skulduggery incorporates and expands on work by Fliss Watts previously shown in Carlisle and at Florence Arts Centre, Egremont, under the title 'Living is easy with eyes closed'.

Previous exhibitions addressed the climate crisis and the ways of thinking that have contributed to it. This showcase of new work turns to the non-human, animal world, biodiversity loss and mass extinction, which makes Kendal Museum, with its natural history collections, an ideal location. The exhibition includes a dynamic combination of prints, drawings, paintings and installations.

--

With around a hundred square metres of space, the gallery is well lit and has architectural features dating back to its previous life as a wool warehouse, including the original stone-flagged floor.

Regional artists know all too well how few spaces are available to show their work, so the recent opening of this large gallery space in Kendal is an exciting new addition to the Lakeland arts scene.

Since re-opening in June 2022, the gallery has already celebrated the abstract printmaking of Jess Levine, photographic work by Colin Reynolds, the exquisite minimalist etchings of Jamie Barnes, and Mike Healey's exciting exhibition of surrealism.
