Rye Art Gallery

Rye Art Gallery invites visitors to embark on a journey of discovery through its interlinked spaces showcasing contemporary art and a permanent collection of approximately 700 artworks. Established as a cultural hub in Rye, the gallery hosts exhibitions featuring emerging and established artists, alongside workshops and events that engage the local and wider community. Our collection spans two-dimensional and three-dimensional pieces, including tactile sculptures and bold lino-cut prints that reflect the British landscape's essence. With a focus on accessibility, we offer opportunities to explore art through donations, memberships, and limited edition prints available in our shop.

The gallery's programming highlights artists like Edward Burra, whose works have gained international recognition, and supports creative education through artist demonstrations and talks. Our location in Hastings Country Park provides immediate access to diverse landscapes that inspire many featured artists. As a registered trust, we maintain transparency and accountability in preserving and expanding our collection while fostering public appreciation for contemporary art.
