The Harvey Gallery started in September 1979, the brainchild of the then head of the Visual Arts department. Initial funding came from the Adult Education Centre, whose principal saw the potential of a gallery run and supported by students. It was created with the assistance of students and staff and since that time the gallery has held 15 exhibitions each year, covering a wide variety of visual arts.

Very early on it earned a reputation for innovation, actively encouraging first-time exhibitors, as well as practising artists. The gallery continues to be a showcase for professional artists as well as local students venturing into the world of displaying their talents. We celebrated our Silver Jubilee in 2004.

The exhibition space itself is an ideal size room, well lit and easy to circulate in. The Gallery has the advantages of an adjacent coffee bar, direct level access from the Harvey Road, disabled parking outside, and parking nearby at a reduced rate.  The free Guildford Shuttle Bus also stops a short walk away.

The Harvey Gallery is managed by a committee of volunteers drawn from visual arts students and staff, who contribute their time, skill and experience to running the gallery and maintaining its high standards and artistic reputation. The committee realises that not everyone appreciates how communal and accessible the gallery is, and are continually striving to raise its profile amongst the student body.

Exhibiting

The gallery puts on a range of excellent exhibitions by accomplished artists (mainly local) throughout the year. Fees are modest. If you would like more information, or would like to book an exhibition, please contact the gallery.
