Homage to The Hambledon Gallery

The Hambledon Gallery in Blandford opened in 1962 as an artists’ meeting place and was run as a gallery from 1963 by Katharine Church (Kitty West), who, during the 1960‘s and 70‘s, exhibited works by well known British artists including Mary Fedden, Henry Moore and Keith Vaughan as well as successful artists working in Dorset such as Richard Batterham, John Hubbard and Henrietta Young. In 1964 Wendy Suffield began working at The Hambledon Gallery, gradually took over the running of it and from the late 70’s began to introduce clothes and home wares which they have continued to sell to the present day.

The Art Stable is delighted to be able to celebrate the 50 year anniversary of the Hambledon Gallery with an exhibition which will include some of the artists who showed there, a tribute to an ongoing, vibrant artistic life in Dorset.
