Kentmere House Art Gallery

Kentmere House Gallery, close to the centre of York, exhibits exciting and original work by professional living artists from Yorkshire and further afield.

Nationally-known artists are shown alongside talented newcomers, a deliberate policy of giving encouragement to the latter and enabling purchasers to back their own judgements.

Some of the artists on permanent display are Jack Hellewell, John Thornton, Tessa Newcomb, Susan Bower, Louis Turpin, David Greenwood, and David Fowkes.

Kentmere House is a different kind of gallery, with original art displayed in the relaxed setting of a fine Victorian house, overlooking York’s famous Knavesmire.

The gallery is friendly and unpretentious, offering advice both to new purchasers and established collectors.

Prices are fair and manageable in a range from £200 - £5,000. The Arts Council's 'Own Art' scheme is available to spread the cost over 10 months with no interest, no deposit and no charges.
