Gallery Hire

Quarr Abbey Steps - Cream

Quarr Abbey’s gallery space is the perfect location for new and established Isle of Wight based artists to exhibit their work to a diverse audience of varying ages and backgrounds. Our gallery space is light and airy, with good lighting and multiple power outlets.

The gallery is ideally suited for hanging paintings, drawings, prints and photographs, and for displaying ceramics and small to medium-sized sculptures. And we welcome enquiries from artists working in all kinds of media.

All exhibitors must have a minimum public liability insurance indemnity of £5,000,000 either as a sole artist or as a group at the time of the exhibition. All exhibitors will be required to sign and return the Exhibitor Terms and Conditions no later than two weeks prior to their exhibition. All payments are required no later than four weeks prior to the exhibition start date.

    Easter Message 2026

    Easter at Quarr is a good season to learn again that
    Flowers open after winter months of apparent death,
    Birds sing joyfully as they build new nests for their little ones to come,
    Lambs gamble and bleat in the meadows.
    Even roads reopen (!) giving access to visitors old and new – all welcome!

    Will our hearts open, too,
    To make peace after conflicts and wars
    To forgive after disputes
    To foster every human life from its conception to its natural end,
    To bring a smile of hope on all faces around?

    “Christ is risen from the dead.”
    Happy Easter to you all!

    Abbot Xavier and the Community
