Browse the listings and our accompanying website where you’ll find more examples of artists’ work, and pick the exhibitions that most appeal to you or are closest to home. From the traditional to the contemporary, and with paintings, ceramics, textiles, furniture and jewellery amongst the offerings, there’s masses to explore and we hope that you are inspired by the pieces on show and find some treasures to take home with you.
