Arts

Pale arts was established in 2024 by owner and practicing artist Janet Austin.

The space comprises a gallery area on the first floor, which provides a relaxed atmosphere alongside the cafe area, to browse contemporary artworks displayed with sensitivity and attention to detail.

Local and national artists and makers are invited to have solo or joint shows or take part in a programme of thoughtfully curated, themed exhibitions. The gallery aims to surprise viewers by selecting artists whose working methods have a more unusual approach to materials and techniques.

The second floor is a community arts space, which is used to host workshops and events linked to arts and creativity in the wider sense, for example, drawing classes, yoga and sound baths. For an up to date programme of events please follow our social media pages.

We are keen to support interesting artists and makers at all stages of their careers. Please make contact if you have ideas you would like to discuss.
