Upcoming Events and Exhibitions

An exciting program of exhibitions, featuring 2 new Artists every 3 months across all genres including orginal paintings, ceramics, textiles, sculpture and jewellery
Annie Stride
I’m inspired as always by our beautiful countryside as well as being constantly challenged to capture its vibrancy and movement. My goal is always to produce my own personal interpretation and representation of what I see and am experiencing. I’m always keen to explore new ideas, try different painting methods, techniques and I believe, am becoming more adventurous in my work.
Shorelines - Sarah Reid
Sarah Reid’s work captures an emotional response to the scenery and invites the viewer to explore the scene - drawn in by unexpected hints of light and colour to provoke a real sense of being. Drawing on experience and memories to create timeless yet contemporary expressions of our landscape.
Culture and Expression
Daniel Hester is a artist/musician exploring and working in a variety of disciplines, currently focused on fine art, original folk music and nature photography.
As an artist, Daniel aims to create desirable pieces that not only have a decorative value but that are rich in historical and cultural value too. Many pieces are based off of archival photographs ranging from the late 19th century through to the late 20th century.
Lakes and Mountains
Born and bought up in Yorkshire, Charlie and his family moved to Cumbria more than forty years ago, drawn by memories of many summers spent on the shores of Ullswater at Sandwick Bay.
His paintings, mainly in Acrylic, aim to capture the wonderful scenery of the lakes and mountains at various times of year.
Capturing Moments - Val Powell
Always trying to capture the emotions of a moment Val’s images represent a reality, not always representative, but those strong intuitive feelings, the passion, the joy, the love, are transferred onto canvas, hopefully leaving something for the viewer to explore.
Paul and Carl Fitton
Carl and Paul Fitton with a sideways look at how we live with more than a hint of dark and light fantasy
Maria Burton Artist:
We are over the moon to welcome Maria Burton to GNW. Her contemporary and semi abstract paintings convey the emotions she feels when exploring the landscape
Ruth Bond
Predominantly working in oils, I employ an impressionistic technique that uses both palette knife and brush resulting in the blended but also richly textured, vibrant style for which I have become renowned. I have established myself as a contemporary land and seascape artist.
Rosie Galloway Smith
Rosie Galloway-Smith is a Carlisle based artist who creates figurative semi surreal artworks based on emotion, experience, and psychology. The work currently being shown extends Rosie’s interest in clothes as representations of emotional states and looks into the pathos of dying flowers.
Troy Slater
Troy Slater- Having such a broad experience in many creative fields has led Troy to his latest and most expansive project for 2023, a portion of which will be on display at Gallery Northwest this summer.
Troy’s newest work is a legitimate cross genre, multimedia work. Sincere, uncompromising and rebellious, this new and focussed work will challenge tropes and signify an assertion from the artist.
Proximity - Lockdown and beyond:
Landscape artist Stuart James Fraser, forced by lockdown to re-connect with his own locality, realises just how fortunate he really is.
This current body of work celebrates his home, village, and the surrounding countryside of the iconic and stunning Eden Valley.
