2025 marks 50 years of the Grimsby Public Art Gallery. When the gallery opened in 1975, director William Poole created an annual tradition of hosting an end-of-term exhibition and sale for his printmaking students at O.C.A.D. The “Gallery 9” and “Gallery 19” shows saw hundreds of emerging print artists and spurred the creation of our Teaching Collection by accepting one print of each edition into our permanent collection. This collection has been used as an incredible educational resource as part of our ‘Art in Schools’ program in the Grimsby community. 

“On Paper 2024” is a show hosted by the Grimsby Public Art Gallery to celebrate works on paper.
