Anna Brady & The Art Newspaper feature CLOSE

‘Slowing the process down’: how a bohemian Somerset art gallery is forging its own path

We're delighted that Close Gallery has been featured in The Art Newspaper!

In a thoughtful new article, The Art Newspaper spotlights Close Gallery’s unique vision and evolution - celebrating our roots in Somerset, our commitment to slowing down the art-viewing experience, and our dedication to artists like the late Jane Harris.

 

Writer Tom Seymour captures our ethos beautifully: a “bohemian destination” where deep engagement, not spectacle, is the priority. As Sales Director Richard Scarry notes, “We slow the process down. We engage with community.”

 

The feature also highlights our current exhibition The Fugitives (Jane Harris), our new London project space in Marylebone, and what’s ahead this autumn with After Nature, curated by Ben Tufnell.
