26 September – 31 December 2026

In this autumn exhibition, octogenarian Grimster presents recent paintings made in the creative surge that followed his remarkable gallery debut BELONGING, in 2023.

Grimster’s vibrant acrylic paintings are abstracted autobiographical landscapes that chart his shifting identity from adoptee to Indigenous elder. Grimster is a citizen of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation. His birth father was a Native American GI based in England during World War II. Grimster attended Cheltenham School of Art in the 1960s and gained an MFA in 1970. An intensely private man, he continued to paint throughout his life without any intention of exhibiting his work until three years ago.

GOLDEN YEARS radiates the creative force of an artist enjoying commercial success in the autumn of his life.

16 June – 31 December 2026

This year we are celebrating our 35 year history with a retrospective show featuring works by thirty five of the Indigenous artists who have participated in past exhibitions. Over the last four decades we have exhibited artworks by more than one hundred artists, many of whom have gone on to have outstanding success.

GATHERING is a salon-style presentation of paintings, drawings, fine art prints and photography. Together these works reflect the richness, diversity and individuality of contemporary Native art whilst highlighting the many voices and artistic contributions that have shaped the gallery’s identity.

Heartfelt gratitude to each and every artist!
