The Quay Collection – Virtual Exhibition
The Quay Collection brings together virtually, for the first time, the Quay’s varied permanent art collection. Often hidden, or unable to view publicly due to space, the Quay holds a significant array of artworks by painters, sculptures, printmakers and photographers, many of whom are highly recognised for their contribution to art in the UK.
We are ever grateful for the works donated by the artists over the years and purchased through our Open Exhibitions, and hope this exhibition gets a chance to celebrate them all. They are: Sue Paraskeva, Martin Swan, Joanne Hummel-Newell, Peter Wright, Eric Geddes, John Backland, Peter Davies and Hamish Marr.
The exhibition also displays works for sale from past fundraising auctions for Quay Arts. The artworks are available to purchase again and include works by Lisa Traxler, Colin Riches and Eric Geddes.
