Finding Colour: Karen Hughes
An exhibition of paintings by local artist Karen Hughes.
“This collection is a reflection of recovery, growth and the quiet strength it takes to begin again. Following a period where my world felt heavy and colour seemed distant, painting became more than creativity—it became therapy. Every brushstroke, splash of paint and layer of texture became a way of expressing emotions that words could never fully capture."

The Odyssey: A Ten-Year Journey Home
This exhibition is centred around Odysseus and his journey home to the island of Ithaca. After winning the Trojan War, the Greek heroes sailed home, but Odysseus' return to his kingdom and his wife Penelope was the most difficult of all.

On display are Greek and Etruscan objects from the Shefton Collection featuring Sirens, including a carved ostrich egg, and a perfume pot in the shape of a Siren. There's also a replica Greek warship, and a 19th century vase with a representation of the sack of Troy by the Greeks.

The National Gallery Masterpiece Tour, Mignard: The Power of Posing
At the heart of this exhibition is The Marquise de Seignelay (1691) by Pierre Mignard, one of seventeenth-century France's most celebrated portrait painters. Created at a time when portraiture was a powerful symbol of wealth, status and influence, the painting demonstrates how the artist carefully crafted every detail, from pose and clothing to setting and expression, to communicate the sitters' story.

A4 | Katie Watson & Matthew Young
A4 is a collaboration of new and recent works by Artists Katie Watson and Matthew Young at 36 Gallery. Drawing upon a mutual pursuit of creating visual languages which depict movement and activity, both artists use this as a starting point allowing works to unfold within the shared exhibition space. The interconnectivity that exists between these two practices can be found in the simple use of A4 paper being translated and re-presented in multiple forms – from folded planes, instruction manuals and litter. The exhibition will honour the folded, creased, overlapped, scrunched material through painting, marquetry and sculpture.

North Shields – 800 Years In The Making
This exhibition takes visitors on a journey from the town’s humble beginnings with a small settlement of shiels – fishermen’s huts – at the mouth of the Pow Burn where the fish quay is today, through wars and conflict, innovation and prosperity, through to growth and development. Although its main focus is eight centuries of the town’s history, it starts with an explanation of how archaeological evidence suggests a prehistoric settlement near Northumberland Park dating back almost 6,000 years and how the earliest legends speak of battles between gods and giants.

Picturing Place - Three Carlisle Artists: Bushby, Bough, Blacklock
Picturing Place celebrates three significant Tullie artists as they capture the beauty, everyday business and timeless qualities of Carlisle and its rural surrounds. Central to the work of William Blacklock, Sam Bough and Thomas Bushby is the notion of place – the unique landscapes of Carlisle and Cumberland that inspired them. Although they were working within a similar timeframe, their approaches to capturing what they saw were quite different. They range from the personal and intimate to the grand and sublime, from accurate topographic records to loose artistic interpretations, and from bustling, busy cityscapes to empty, desolate landscapes. Although different in temperament, all three artists produced paintings and drawings that are both beautifully observed and brilliantly executed. Their works take the visitor on a journey, starting bang in the centre of Carlisle before rippling out to the neighbouring villages and beyond to the Lakes, Fells and wild places further afield.
