About us

We are a voluntary organization aimed at fostering a greater interest in the Atkinson Art Gallery and visual arts in general.

Founded in 1957 we have purchased over nineteen works for the gallery, including Maria Donska by Jacob Epstein and Mother and Child by Celia Baillie pictured. Other works include Ruin, Dentdale by John Piper, Three-Way Piece Points by Henry Moore and Allegro Strepitoso by Carel Weight.

Some of our funds have also helped purchase audio-visual equipment for the gallery and funding talks, such as 'An Introduction to Art Nouveau' by Eric Knowles at the Atkinson in September 2006.

Join us! Help the Atkinson and be a part of a group that is helping its collection to grow.
