18 Years, 18 Artists
Heart Gallery Celebrates its 18th Birthday with a 'Spectacular Exhibition'
Heart Gallery has announced a landmark event in its history - its 18th Birthday Exhibition, a celebration of creativity, community, and the artistic brilliance that has shaped their journey over nearly two decades.
The exhibition, titled "18 Years, 18 Artists," will feature an exclusive selection of original works from 18 exceptional artists who have been an integral part of their story.

Running from 1st September to 30th September, this special exhibition is a tribute to the incredible talent they've showcased since they first opened in 2006. Each artist will present one standout piece, offering a glimpse into the diverse and dynamic world of contemporary art that Heart Gallery has championed over the years.
Alison Bartram, the founder and owner of Heart Gallery, shared her excitement: "18 Years, 18 Artists is more than just an exhibition; it's a journey through 18 years of passion, creativity, and the unique bond we've formed with our artists and community. From the whimsical strokes of a paintbrush to the intricate details of mixed media, each work on display is a story - a vibrant slice of the artistic soul.
"This exhibition is a celebration of the relationships we've built and the incredible artists who have been with us throughout this journey. It's a testament to the power of art to bring people together and to inspire."
To mark this milestone, Heart Gallery is hosting a Raffle with prizes generously donated by many of their artists including a special print of a new painting for the exhibition by local artist Kate Lycett called Midwinter Sun at Gibson Mill. Raffle tickets will be available for purchase throughout the month, with all proceeds going to Hebden Arts, the local arts charity.
The raffle draw will take place during our Birthday Weekend Party on 28th and 29th September, a grand finale packed with music, celebration, and a toast to the future.
