Beaux Arts Bath, Bath

Beaux Arts Bath, Bath

Beaux Arts Bath, nestled in the heart of Bath, is a distinguished commercial art gallery renowned for its focus on contemporary art. Housed in a historic Georgian-era building on York Street, this gallery is strategically located near key attractions like Bath Abbey and the Roman Baths, with most central points of interest within a mere 10-minute walk.

The gallery, independent in its operation, prides itself on showcasing a diverse range of artistic media, including ceramics, paintings, and sculptures. Its walls are adorned with works primarily from twentieth-century artists, encompassing painters, sculptors, and ceramicists. This makes Beaux Arts Bath not just a hub for art lovers but also a window into the rich tapestry of contemporary artistic expression.

One of the gallery's standout features is its dynamic programme of temporary exhibitions. These exhibitions, which rotate every 4–6 weeks, provide an ever-changing panorama of contemporary art, ensuring that each visit offers a fresh and unique experience. The gallery typically organizes around eight exhibitions annually, providing a platform for young painters to display their talent alongside established artists.

Despite its relatively small size, Beaux Arts Bath boasts a high calibre of art. Unlike more famous galleries where artworks are often not for sale, most pieces displayed here are available for purchase. This approach not only supports the artists but also allows art enthusiasts and collectors to acquire exceptional works of contemporary art.
