Artists can boost their CVs instantly by displaying their work directly next to a masterpiece within the Garman Ryan Collection (van Gogh, Sorrow, 1882). Each minute long exhibition will be photographed for prosperity.
Picturesque Tour: Take a tour of the many vistas captured by The New Art Gallery Walsall’s magnificent windows – a unique architectural feature which connects the gallery and the town from every vantage point.
Sale: ‘See one get one free’ on all art experiences! The language of the high street comes to the gallery. The artworks aren’t necessarily for sale but they can be seen for free all year round. Sale on a large scale: 100% off, 7 days a week!
