We’ve been busy! We have been designing and compiling a Borders Gallery guide. It features local galleries, gallery workshops and art venues spread right across north Northumberland and the Scottish Borders. The new guide will be available from featured galleries and in tourist info places from March.

We are open!! The gallery opened on Friday 17th March and despite the drizzle, the support has been amazing. We’ll be having our official opening over the Easter weekend – more details will be announced soon!

It’s been like Christmas over the last couple of weeks with deliveries arriving on a daily basis. We’re lucky to have so many talented people exhibiting with us. Not long now until we open!
25th February: The Gallery is ready and waiting for the beautiful local craft work which will start to arrive next week!
17th February: we’ve almost finished fitting out the gallery. The main shelving units are up and the rest of the cabinets and furniture have been built. The jewellery cases are on the wall and the floor plinths are in the process of being painted. It’s really starting to come together!
3rd February: a very productive week. Thanks to some very kind volunteers, we were able to get the gallery painted this week and its now a lovely warm and welcoming space.
We also had the very first meeting of our lovely new team of gallery staff.
28th January: a very busy week in the gallery! Now that the heating system has been fixed and the joinery work completed, we’ve been able to clean the gallery from top to bottom ready to be painted next week. We’ve had some lovey volunteers pitching in to help.
16th January: And so it begins – the start of a very exciting year for us here at The Hirsel Gallery!
