SUMMARY:See the Winter Exhibitions at Grundy Art Gallery
DESCRIPTION:\nSee the Winter Exhibitions at Grundy Art Gallery. The Winter Programme begins a new year with Collection Point, a local artist solo exhibition and Open – a celebration of local work.\n\n\n\n24 January with the following exhibitions on display until 7 March 2026. Tuesday to Saturday, 10am to 4.45pm.\n\n\n\nSee the Winter Exhibitions at Grundy Art Gallery\n\n\n\nCollection Spotlight: 1926\n\n\n\nThis exhibition brings together items on loan from SHOWTOWN History Centre and the Grundy Art Gallery Collection. Taking the year 1926 as its theme, the exhibition presents paintings purchased by Grundy Art Gallery in 1926 alongside items linked to civic celebration.\n\n\n\nCollection Spotlight: A Body of Work\n\n\n\nFor our second Collection Spotlight exhibition of 2026, artist Jayne Simpson and Grundy’s Curator, have curated a display of works from Grundy’s collection using themes at play in Simpson’s work.\n\n\n\nTurning Point: Jayne Simpson – Lion\n\n\n\nTurning Point is Grundy Art Gallery’s ongoing programme of solo exhibition opportunities given to artists living and working in Blackpool and the Fylde Coast. These opportunities support an artist at a particular point in their career, where a solo exhibition opportunity can catalyse artistic and career development.\n\n\n\nJayne Simpson’s solo exhibition, LION sees the artist painting at an increased scale and painting both on and off the canvas. Using this opportunity to explore the medium of expanded painting, Simpson encourages visitors to experience LION as an installation, a sculpture and an environment.\n\n\n\nFor LION, Simpson has continued to explore her own emotional landscape and lived-experience as her subject matter; and with her trademark tenderness has turned this personal into something that can be universally understood.\n\n\n\nOpen 2026\n\n\n\nWritten into the founding documents of Grundy Art Gallery is a commitment to show the art of the day. 115 years later, the Grundy continues to honour this promise with an annual open exhibition. There’s no selection criteria, and no fee to enter work. Anyone over 16 years of age from across Blackpool and the Fylde Coast can submit their work.\n\n\n\nIn keeping with commitment to show the art of the day, work must have been made in the last year and not shown at the Grundy before. Celebrate the 115th birthday of Grundy Art Gallery with what we hope will be the biggest and boldest Open Exhibition to date.\n\n\n\nMore about the current exhibitions here ( https://www.visitfyldecoast.info/business-pages/grundy-art-gallery-blackpool/ )\n\n\n\nThis event is not organised by Visit Fylde Coast but please mention you saw it here.
