Liverpool Academy of Arts

The building houses two galleries which we have called the Picture Gallery and the Sculpture Gallery. In practice both can be used for sculpture and paintings. However the Sculpture Gallery is much bigger than the Picture Gallery and thus more suitable for larger works.

Video of Opening At the beginning of 2007 we moved into our new premises at 32 Seel Street. For the launch we had an exhibition with major works by artists and sculptors such as Arthur Dooley, Brian Burgess, James Cliffe, Adrian Henri, Don McKinley, Tom Murphy, James Heritage, George Jardine, Carl Hodgson, Frank Hendry etc. We had a video made of the opening which you can see by clicking on the image on the left.As well as showing you see what the gallery looks lik the video also contains brief interviews with our director June Lornie and some of the artists which illustrate the principles on which the gallery is founded.
