Exhibiting at Lovelys
At Lovelys we are keen to exhibit a wide range of styles and mediums - we sell originals, prints, sculptures, ceramics and glass works. We are always happy to consider new artists to exhibit and promote at the gallery. Our 120 years of experience and expertise ensure a strong relationship with our artists offering support, feedback, direction, and new ideas.
In May 2011 Lovelys launched a new contemporary exhibition space – “Edge”, upstairs in their gallery in Northdown Road, Cliftonville. This creates a new 'edge' to Lovelys, working alongside their continuing commitment to showcasing traditional and contemporary art.
Edge will offer a continually changing collection of diverse artwork from Thanet and East Kent based professional artists who are on the periphery of national and international recognition. Edge will also focus attention on the exhibitors creative intentions,encouraging a thought provoking experience.
