Scarborough Art Gallery is based in an Italianate villa built in the 1840s. The gallery houses our permanent collection which has been built up over sixty years through gifts, bequests and purchases to reflect the eclectic mix of the community and the cultural heritage of Scarborough.

From attic to basement we seek to inspire; as well as having close links with contemporary artists in Crescent Arts’ basement studios, on our ground floor we have a lively family gallery, a shop and host temporary exhibitions to celebrate the many creative professionals based locally.

The galleries on the ground floor house our permanent collection; an exciting mixture of treasures including paintings gifted by famous hotelier Tom Laughton over 20 years. Our own collections are changed regularly however firm favourites by Atkinson Grimshaw, John Jackson, R.A and Sir Matthew Smith as are always on display.

On the first floor we offer both home grown and national touring exhibitions. We have a biennial East Coast Open exhibition attracting both professional and amateur artists and the gallery is used extensively by schools and colleges across Yorkshire.

The collection at Scarborough Art Gallery is of great local significance and includes subjects in the town and area by local artists from throughout history. There are oils and watercolours of Scarborough, by artists of the nineteenth century such as John Wilson Carmichael and Henry Barlow Carter. Also on display are nationally important artists from the twentieth century such as Ivon Hitchens and Matthew Smith. These displays change throughout the year, though visitors will always see the magnificent Atkinson Grimshaws.
