4th February - 30th March 2025
Gillian’s new exhibition at the Bailiffgate
Location: Bailiffgate Museum and Gallery
‘The Lost and Left Behind’
Come and enjoy the thought-provoking exhibition by Scotland-born artist Gillian Lee Smith who explores the lost and found, connection and heritage and the past and how it has shaped us, including memories that are accumulated, embellished, diminished, and sometimes lost and even rediscovered over time.
Whilst the work represents and honours our collective heritage, our ancestors, and those who have come before us, we are also invited to view ourselves with the same curiosity and reverence as those we hold dear. What if we were to create/recreate (and even imagine!) stories that are familiar and celebrate our uniqueness - to connect with ourselves, our memories, and our human experience?
Living in Northumberland for the past decade, Gillian has found a great deal of inspiration in the people, industry, and landscape of our local area.
Prints and cards will be available to purchase in the Bailiffgate shop. Entry is included in the museum admission.
Pricing: £6 Adults, £5 for Concessions, £1 for ages five - 16s and under fives free. (closed Mondays) -
