Group Show: Act I

Vanner Gallery is delighted to open its 2026 programme with two exhibitions that spotlight the gallery’s roster of artists.

Across the paired exhibitions – Act I and Act II – visitors will encounter (or revisit) the work of 23 artists whose practices collectively represent exceptional contemporary approaches to painting, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, and woodworking.

Each artist will be featured in both shows. Visiting either exhibition will offer a clear sense of their work; experiencing both will provide an even deeper insight.

The gallery is also pleased to announce that the following artists will be working more closely with the gallery moving forward:

Eleanor Bartlett | William-Josh Beck | Day Bowman | Dina Bulavina | Harry Chrystall | Emma Cowley | Lawrence Dicks | Anthony Garratt | Jack Hilton | Felice Hodges | Louise Ørsted Jensen | Sarah Kirk | Jonathan Lawes | Jonathan Loxley | Peter Lynch | David Mankin | Emily Moore | Spencer Shakespeare | Beth Shapeero | Jane Sheppard | David Shillinglaw | Amanda Sumpter | Louis Vincent
