Harrogate gallery to reopen with exhibition celebrating British seaside
The Watermark Gallery on Royal Parade is set to host its first exhibition since the remaining lockdown restrictions were lifted.
The gallery on Royal Parade was opened just three weeks before the first lockdown in March 2020.
It has been closed throughout the pandemic, but remained open online during the lockdowns.
Now, it's set to open with an exhibition which celebrates the very best of the British seaside.
From deckchairs and ice cream vans to the much-loved coastline of North Yorkshire, the exhibition features new paintings by Harrogate-born Andrew Morris and Newcastle's Emma Holliday in two different but complimentary styles.
Emma Holliday’s vibrant paintings capture the light and colour of coastal towns like Whitby, Staithes and Runswick Bay.
Meanwhile, Andrew Morris’s work focuses on the details and typography of the traditional English seafront, which has a striking, cinematic quality.
Also featured is new jewellery from Justin Duance, a specialist in using beach sand to casting jewellery.
Watermark Gallery owner Liz Hawkes said:
The exhibition will run until the end of the month.
