The New Art Gallery Walsall temporary closure

2pm, Thursday 19 March 2020

 

To all our supporters, friends and visitors,

 

For over 20 years The New Art Gallery Walsall has been bringing people, art and artists together. However, in light of the developing situation with COVID-19, the welfare of our visitors and staff must come first. That is why Walsall Council have taken the decision to close the Gallery to the public, until further notice, from 2pm, Thursday 19th March.

 

All scheduled events for the coming months have been cancelled; we will review which of these can be rescheduled for a later date. If you have paid for a ticket for one of our events you will be refunded.

 

Please continue to visit us online at our website and on social media for any updates and for access to the Gallery, its exhibitions and collections.

 

Thank you for your support – we don’t know yet when we will reopen, but we look forward to welcoming you back when we do.

 

Until then, stay safe and take care of yourselves and loved ones.

Culture Secretary visits The New Art Gallery

 

 

 

We were very pleased to welcome Oliver Dowden CBE, the new Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, to The New Art Gallery Walsall on his recent visit to the West Midlands on 27th February.

 

He really enjoyed his time here, and said on his official Twitter account @OliverDowden, “Delighted to make my first gallery visit @DCMS the @newartgallery in Walsall. Its Epstein collection is amazing but the collection of local people engaging with art in their community was even better. Art should be for everyone and it certainly is here.”
