We try to share exhibitions of many different types in the Art Gallery at Darlington Library, open Monday to Saturday with free entry during standard Darlington Library opening hours. The latest exhibition is by 77 year old artist Roger Birchall, and it was great to see so many people enjoying its opening with Roger on the evening of Friday 27th September 2024, and to read positive comments from those who’ve made them to date,.

Roger selected two works from Darlington Borough Art Collection for display alongside his exhibition, Carnival | Art UK and Well | Art UK, the latter gifted by the Contemporary Arts Society.  We offer artists and groups mounting new exhibitions in the Art Gallery at Darlington Library the opportunity to select works for display from Darlington Borough Art Collection, in a small section of the Art Gallery that’s reserved for this purpose.

A selection of visitor comments on Roger’s exhibition, which contains includes a small selection of paintings and prints for for sale, to date is shown below, and it would be great to read yours on the exhibition, or on other aspects of the visual arts here in Darlington, if you pop into Darlington Library during standard opening hours.
