The Whitehouse Gallery

Sightseeing attraction | Kirkcudbright | Scotland | United Kingdom

The Whitehouse Gallery is a contemporary art and craft gallery located in the historic artist town of Kirkcudbright in Southwest Scotland. Since its opening in 2004, it has established itself as one of the leading galleries in the region, showcasing works by renowned artists and artisans from across the United Kingdom.

The gallery is spread over two levels, with the lower area designed to be bright and inviting, while the upper rooms present artworks in a more homely atmosphere. This versatile space concept allows visitors to experience art in different contexts.

The Whitehouse Gallery organizes five to six changing exhibitions annually, featuring both emerging talents and established artists. The range of works on display includes painting, sculpture, ceramics, woodwork, jewelry, glass, printmaking, and more. Particularly notable is the mix of local Scottish artists and creatives from other parts of the UK, who together create a diverse and inspiring collection.

The Whitehouse Gallery places great importance on making art accessible to a wide audience. Through participation in the "Own Art" program, interested individuals have the opportunity to purchase artworks through interest-free loans, making art buying easier.

The gallery is known for its warm and friendly atmosphere, inviting visitors to leisurely view and enjoy the exhibited works. With its central location in Kirkcudbright, it is an integral part of the local art scene and a popular destination for art enthusiasts from near and far.
