These exhibitions – which frequently include never previously exhibited works from private collections – presented alongside the annual Holt Festival, are accompanied by lectures, gallery talks, discussions and other events including related music. We are delighted, over the years, to have been able to exhibit a number of important rediscoveries. These exhibitions would not have been possible without the great generosity of lenders, grant givers, sponsors and many volunteers, to whom we are very grateful.

We are delighted that recently we have had visitor numbers in excess of 5,000 per year to the exhibitions and our free educational outreach programme is now enjoyed by approaching 1,500 local state school children, who each create works and learn about the topic of the exhibition, a selection of which now form separate exhibitions.
