New Opportunities for artists to exhibit at the Forge Gallery in 2026
​
The Forge Gallery has hosted a wonderful range of exhibitions during 2025 we are now full for 2026 and taking booking for 2027. Many artists have exhibited during the year and visitors to the gallery have had the opportunity to view and buy a variety of artwork.
There has been high demand to exhibit at the Forge and exhibitions are usually held by single artists. To support as many artists as possible during 2026 the gallery will invite collaborative exhibitions, allowing two or three artists to share the exhibition space. This will give more artists the opportunity to exhibit and reduce the cost to individuals.
