Published on by Participate In Art1 Comment

Over 114 pieces sold in the 1st 4 weeks !!!!

The new ‘Abbey Galleries’ opened with a packed out private launch evening on Thursday 3rd October. Since then the Gallery has been received extremely well by locals and visitors, with new visitors returning time and time again, to get inspiration, a gift or just look at all the wonderful pieces.

Having opened on 3rd October, only 4 weeks ago, we have been fortunate to have found new homes for over 114 pieces of work. This is a great start for our new venture and a wonderful boost for local artists. Long may it continue as we move into the festive season.

Pershore success story to expand to a 2nd Art Gallery, due to open in October

Chris and Jilly are extremely excited to announce the forthcoming opening of their second Art Gallery and Picture Framers. Following the huge success of 51 High Street, which took Pershore by storm, The Gallery has become an essential asset to the community. The husband-and-wife partnership are now expanding their offering with a second gallery in Tewkesbury. 

This new venture, which will be called ‘Abbey Galleries’ at 81 Church Street, Tewkesbury will have a large showroom for 2D and 3D work as well as bespoke picture framing on-site.  This enables them to present and develop even more local artists and creators, not just from Worcestershire but from the Gloucestershire area too.

The new gallery will deliver the same valued skills and knowledge in their now accustomed personal, relaxed and welcoming atmosphere that has proven so successful.

The site is currently being completed renovated and will open in October 2024.

“This is great new chapter for us and is only possible because to the wonderful support and commitment from our artists, customers and community, so a huge thank you to them.”

Chris Oxlade-Arnott (Co-Owner and Framer)

“We are so looking forward to meeting a whole new set of artists, customers and friends as we become part of the fabric of Tewkesbury.”

Jilly Oxlade-Arnott ( Co-Owner and Artist)
