Gallery Hire

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 that two weeks prior to their exhibition. All payments are required no later than four weeks prior to the exhibition start date.

New artists

We would like to encourage new Island artists and so we will reserve two weeks, one in March and one in October. If you have not exhibited at Quarr Abbey Gallery before, please apply as a new artist.
