A rolling programme of exhibitions featuring work by some of the regions most interesting artists – displaying the rich diversity and creative talent in the area.  We are proud to offer a public gallery space in the centre of Ludlow and our exhibitions are curated by Eliz-anne, one of our incredibly dedicated volunteers. She  sources a wonderful and eclectic series of high quality and intriguing exhibitions for us all to enjoy. 

Current Exhibition:

Emma Barnard
Memento Vivere
14 March – 3 May 2025
…………………………………………………….
Join artist Emma Barnard and a curated selection of poets from a
monthly Poetry Group. After years immersed in the digital world,
Emma’s desire for peace and reflection found its voice in the
form of image-based poetry. The exhibition showcases Emma’s
contemplative musings, offering a raw and intimate perspective,
alongside the refined works of her fellow poets. It invites you to
step away from the chaos of technology, into a space
where words and images create a sanctuary for the soul.

Following Exhibition:

Matthew Evans and Peter Horrocks
Two artists using very different mediums but both observing and intrigued with how surface is created by the enigmatic quality of layers beneath.

Matthew Evans
The Feel of Things
9 May 2025 -28 June 2025
…………………………………………………….
Matthew Evans is captivated by the relationship between
makers and their work. Photographing local internationally renown
weaver Alison Morton at work on her loom took him into
her energy, patience and great skill. For a photographer,
repetition (like weaving) is a gift: ‘I can prepare because I know
what will happen next… except it never did.’ 

Peter Horrocks
EarthWorks
9 May 2025 -28 June 2025
…………………………………………………….
My practice involves using earth pigments and other
natural materials. I am drawn to the abstract qualities
of fragments of the landscape and geological structures.
Pigments are often used dry or are worked with various
binders. Surfaces are layered, revealing colours beneath by
scraping, rubbing and sanding.

Caroline Pool
4 July – 23 August
…………………………………………………….
Decommissioned

 A collection of portraits.  Caroline’s direct portrayals of the elderly force you to address the conversation around society’s representation of the ageing population and celebrate their wealth of life experience through paint.  Commission requests available through the Assembly Rooms.
