The Gallery at
A rotating showcase of work by artists we admire.
Our gallery wall is a carefully curated space, featuring a changing selection of visual artists whose work resonates with the feel and rhythm of the studio.
We don’t run fixed monthly rotations, instead, each new exhibition is selected intuitively, based on season, connection, and creative significance. Most of the artists we show are based in Yorkshire, but we also feature selected UK-based artists whose work brings something fresh, thoughtful, and beautifully made.
The focus is on painting, with occasional sculpture or three-dimensional work where the space allows. Because the gallery is integrated into our working studio and shop, exhibitions are designed to sit gently alongside daily life, inviting curiosity, stillness, and conversation.

Exhibition Days & Opening Events
Each time a new collection is installed, we treat the first day as an exhibition event — a quiet, natural flow of discovery throughout the day, with the coffee bar open late and music playing into the evening. We use signage and social media to help the work reach more people — including those just passing by.
Whenever possible, we invite the artist to be present for part of the day. If so, we’ll share their expected times so you can stop by, say hello, and learn more about the work in person.
→ Our first exhibition opening will also mark our soft launch — we hope you’ll join us for both.
Want to Exhibit With Us?
The gallery is curated — but we’re always interested in hearing from artists we might not yet know.
If your work is rooted in concept, quality, and a love of materials, we’d love to see it.
We are especially drawn to work that feels in tune with the Rock Garden ethos:
clean, natural-toned, thoughtful, elegant — where craft and fine art meet.
While most of our shows are focused on painting, we’re open to interpretation and welcome creative proposals across mediums.
