We are situated above Lloyds bank building over two floors, and 16 rooms.
With a team of 14 volunteers we have available rental space for display.
TUG works with the general public, press organisations, other galleries and all media to bring your work to the forefront of all.
Our Ethos
The ethos of the gallery is to allow all artists to participate in exhibiting their work, artist can display their works commission free, which means they can take 100% sales, to allow them maximum revenue for their skills and development. Student, emerging, established and professional artists can apply, giving the viewer a variety of choice and the flexibility with revenue to select their choice, prices reflect accordingly.
Many galleries charge a commission of 30 – 65% on top of the sale to the artist, therefore art can be very expensive to purchase, both to the artist and the buyer.
We offer a very different service.
Changing exhibitions every month
Our artists and craft-makers here in our large 15 roomed arts gallery do rotate every month so please do be aware that if you like works by a particular artist, you are able to purchase and take with you today.
