In 2013 we celebrated our centenary following the original bequest by Edwin Young that established the original gallery in 1913. In our centenary year we were successful with a grant from the Arts Council England South West for a project called preSENSE which aims to develop our audiences and raise awareness for the gallery through a programme of new exhibitions and innovative participatory arts programmes inspired by the art collections and working with target communities including, families, the military and older people. This project will further support us to redevelop the galleries to provide permanent exhibitions which both mark the life and achievements of both Edwin Young and John Creasey and provide access to the collections held by the Edwin Young and John Creasey Museum Trusts in new and exciting ways. There are five art collections held at the Young Gallery including:
1. Robin Tanner
5. Mick Maslen

Find the Field Notes exhibition in Gallery 3. The exhibition celebrates a project in Harnham, which connects people to place through conversation, walking in the landscape and expressive mark marking.

🖼️ The project worked with a small group of Harnham residents who were invited to share their memories and experiences of living in Harnham and then took part in a series of immersive cultural walks, which gave an understanding of the archaeology and those who have lived there before us.

The project was supported by Vistry Group, Wessex Archaeology Sue Martin Our Wiltshire

🎨See the Drawing Together: The Bath Academy of Art at Corsham exhibition in Gallery 2.

🖌️Founded in 1852 as the Bath School of Art, the institution relocated to Corsham Court in 1946 after its premises were damaged during the Second World War.

🖼️ The exhibition marks the 80th anniversary of this move, which transformed the small Wiltshire market town of Corsham into an important centre for art education and creative experimentation.

✏️ More than 40 Bath Spa Univeristy students have been involved with the project through bespoke workshops, discussions, interpretation and creative responses. Working as collaborators within the curatorial process, the students have brought new perspectives to the works of art, histories and ideas explored in the exhibition.
