The Zillah Bell Art Gallery is an independent contemporary art gallery housed in a Grade II Listed Building in Thirsk, North Yorkshire, England. Since opening in 1988 it has more than doubled its wall space and is a venue for a variety of contemporary artists. The gallery exhibits a wide variety of local and national artists including among others, Norman Ackroyd, Deirdre Borlase, Colin Britton, Mike Clay, Robin Hazlewood, Jason Hicklin, Roger Kohn, Janet Moodie and Jonathan Trowell.
Exhibitions and History
Exhibitions at the Zillah Bell Gallery change monthly and feature an extraordinary wide range of artists, media and subject matter - including the work of both established and up and coming artists.
Often described as one of 'Yorkshire’s best kept secrets', this fine art gallery has, over the years, earned the reputation as a place to view and purchase a wide range of works by local, national and international artists.
Dating back to the 18th Century, the building retains original features such as the range. Prior to becoming a gallery, the building was an electrical shop.
The Zillah Bell Gallery holds the largest collection of Norman Ackroyd’s etchings in the North of England, and in 2013 the gallery opened the Upper Galleries – where prints by Norman Ackroyd CBE RA are displayed throughout the year.
In 2005 the owner of the Zillah Bell Gallery, John Bell, invited several artists to participate in an exhibition of work on Paddy's Hole.[1] Paddy's Hole is a small, man made harbour on the South Gare breakwater peninsula at the mouth of the River Tees on Teesside. A fishing boat repair works, nuclear power station, steelworks, lighthouse and golf course combine to create a most unusual and otherworldly little place. The exhibition was a multi-media event. Among other artistsRoger Kohn produced several landscape drawings inspired by the location. One of the more unusual exhibits at this event was a cabinet of tea cakes created out of material salvaged in the harbour by the artist, David Winfield.
The gallery is named after owner John Bell’s youngest daughter Zillah who, along with her sisters Daisy & Lettice Bell, were responsible for organising the Art of Care auction of postcards held in Edinburgh, 2005.[2] Artists who exhibited at the Art of Care Auction included Sir Paul McCartney, David Hockney, Tracey Emin and Damien Hirst.
