NSWI Monthly Meeting - Presentation on the Young Gallery Salisbury by Dr Emily Dunbar

The Young Gallery is a free Art Museum housed in the centre of Salisbury on the 1st floor of the Library. The museum holds a collection of over 4000 objects, including paintings, scripts, books, sculpture & photography. The collection began with over 300 watercolour paintings showing scenes of Salisbury & the surrounding area by Edwin Young ( founder of the gallery) To compliment this collection, a growing number of watercolours by artists of different periods have since been acquired. Additionally, 2,000 books in over 20 languages, as well as manuscripts, designs for book jackets, and ephemera relating to the crime and thriller writer John Creasey became part of the collection in the 1970s.
The collection has since grown to contain a diverse collection of artwork and prints. It contains many works by Robin Tanner, Edgar Barclay and William Goldsmith, as well as prints by J M W Turner, John Constable, David Hockney and Henry Moore. The Gallery actively collects artwork by local artists and works depicting Salisbury and the surrounding area.

A selection of works from the permanent collection is available to view in Gallery 1 and Gallery 2 all year round. Gallery 3 exhibits artwork by local community groups and projects. Gallery 1 occasionally features collaborations with artists and institutions who have enagaged with the collection.
