Ethos

In September 2006, co-founders Christine Harmar-Brown, Ian Ross and Nikki Tompsett joined forces, bringing together their experience in the Visual and Performing arts to launch Todds Gallery, combining the sale of contemporary art works with the creation of a strategic arts business.

By facilitating tours, exchanges and outreach programmes, Todds supports the development and promotion of local artists whilst raising the profile of the arts within the community and generating links to regional and national galleries.

Encouraging dynamic collaborations between artists from different disciplines and featuring a different artist or group show each month, the gallery will host a variety of work and the programme for 2007 includes textiles, video, street art and kinetic metal sculpture as well as paintings, ceramics and jewellery.

Future plans involve site-specific events and multi art form collaborations. The launch of the workshop programme in February offers participants the opportunity to learn a range of skills and techniques associated with the work on show and this is complemented by a series of Artists Talks.
