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 p

rogrammes 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

56 years ago today, Robin Tanner was busy sketching plants from life! Today, these works were catalogued by one of the Young Gallery’s collection volunteers who help behind the scenes 🔍

🌿The Young Gallery’s permanent collection contains over 200 studies by Tanner which give a unique insight into Wiltshire flora and his creative process.

You can see some of Tanner’s work on display in Gallery 1 🖼️
