Fishslab Gallery

01/08/2026

Only five weeks left for the chance to run your own Whitstable gallery for a week in 2027.

There’s nothing quite like seeing your work in the Fishslab Gallery window and having the space as your gallery for a week.

Whether you’re showing for the first time or the hundredth, Fishslab Gallery is here for you.

Our 2027 exhibition weeks open for booking at 9am on 1 August.

To take part, just give us a call on 07435 066927 – that’s the only way to book.

Brew a coffee, grab your diary and settle in – maybe with a painting on the go or the morning paper – as it can take a little while to get through. If the line’s busy, please keep trying. We’ll talk to everyone who calls and we’ll always do our best to make space for as many artists as we can.

When we speak, we’ll chat through the dates, find a week that fits, and we’ll send your simple booking details once the phone lines close that day so you don’t need to call again to chase anything.

We welcome solo artists, groups and organisations, from new painters to long‑time exhibitors.

Eve and her Holey Bible has sold too. I was fortunate enough to meet and chat with the lovely woman who has adopted her.
There’s a lovely satisfying array of red dots across the gallery. Sounds like there’s some more this morning.
I’ll be back in the Fishslab Gallery this afternoon. (Sunday 15 February) until 4pm. Tomorrow is the last day.
