SOLAR GALLERY: Poetry and Image

14 Jun - 31 Aug 2025

11:00 - 16:00

Ilkley Manor House

The Solar Gallery's summer theme is Poetry and Image.

Named after the historic room it occupies, the Solar Gallery is a permanent space upstairs showcasing the diverse work of professional painters, printmakers, photographers, sculptors, and textile/ceramic/glass artists. Some are established with decades of exhibition experience, while others are students just beginning their artistic journey!

The Poetry and Image theme allows the artists scope to focus on unique viewpoints, exploring how this theme informs their individual practice.

This exhibition runs on weekends from 14 June to 31 August. Ilkley Manor House is open on weekends from 11am to 4pm. Entry is free unless stated otherwise; no booking is required. Please check the website and our social media for the latest updates before visiting.

Accessibility Information
