Beverley Art Gallery can be found at Champney Treasure House. The Edwardian gallery space is located in the original, grade II listed part of the building, where it opened to the public in 1910. Beverley’s first public art gallery was envisioned as a place of civic pride and continues this legacy today, displaying highlights from its British art collection alongside a diverse programme of exhibitions to enjoy for free. The gallery collection includes work by local artists Fred Elwell RA and Mary Dawson Elwell SWA, as well as the likes of Sir William Russell Flint, Arthur Rackam and Dame Laura Knight. On permanent display, is renowned painting ‘A Panic’ by Henry William Banks Davis, considered to be the world’s largest cattle painting. The exhibition programme showcases work by notable local and international artists, as well as national touring exhibitions. It also hosts a lively programme of events, with an active group of members: the ‘Friends of Beverley Art Gallery’. Beverley Art Gallery is temporarily closed for the Treasure House Transformation. During this period the gallery team are working on redisplaying the collection, bringing new stories and artworks to light. They are also preparing a new programme of exhibitions for 2025 and beyond. The gallery is sharing its work through social media, regular newsletters for Friends members, and local media.
