SEASON TO SEASON 32 paintings from a selection of artists all inspired by the Seasons
WELC O ME to our SU M M E R E XH IB IT IO N 2 0 2 6 This year’s exhibition, SEASON TO SEASON, celebrates the everchanging beauty of the year through a carefully curated collection of new paintings by 18 of our much-loved gallery artists. Each work is inspired, in its own unique way, by the distinctive character, light and atmosphere of the seasons. The Lake District is breathtaking throughout the year, but which season speaks to you most? Is it the fresh promise of spring, the long, sun-drenched days of summer, the rich tapestry of autumn colours, or the quiet, crisp beauty of winter? Each season transforms the landscape in its own remarkable way, offering endless inspiration to the artists who capture its moods and moments. We hope this exhibition invites you to rediscover the timeless beauty of the Lake District and to experience the changing seasons through the eyes of the artists who know and love it best.
