About

You will find our “gallery by the sea” in the historic Thames North School, on the scenic coast road just 3 minutes north of Thames town. 2023 saw the gallery celebrate their 50th anniversary, and enjoyed a reunion of past and present volunteers. The gallery is meticulously curated to create a new experience for regular visitors, and unique and interesting arts for the not so regular visitors. There are monthly member’s exhibitions (featuring at least 2 creative mediums) seasonal exhibitions, workshops and even a Christmas Market (keep up to date on the socials) held on the expansive grassed area beside the gallery.
