The Cank Street Gallery closes in June 2019

I have been deeply saddened to hear the news of the closure of The Cank Street Gallery, 'the largest independent art gallery in Leicester.' Owner Dayle Flude and her team gave myself and many local artists the opportunity to exhibit our work, offering support and advice and giving us credibility to be in her gallery.  We all became part of a 'family', which I'll surely miss.
I don't think the Leicester art community will ever recapture that sort of atmosphere again and it's very sad walking past that area of town.  Just as the Leicester Mercury describes it, "it's hard to imagine now the art landscape of Leicester without them" and "Leicester will be a visually poorer place without this gallery."
A huge thanks to Dayle and her team for their tireless work and efforts to support us creatives!

One of my last paintings sold at Cank Street of The Globe, Leicester to art collector Steve Brewin.

A great year for the sale of Lizzy's paintings!

It's been a great year for me at Cank Street Gallery! The sale of three major paintings has been a real achievement! I'm grateful to everyone who's been involved in exhibiting and selling my work; more next year, I promise!
Cank Street is a lovely place to exhibit - the staff are welcoming and helpful to artists and public alike. Owner, Dayle, continues to put her efforts into encouraging local artists, holding shows & exhibitions and inviting those interested along to artist's talks. This year it's been especially nice to meet up regularly with others and to become a consistent part of the art crowd.
I'm indebted to all the collectors of my work and to everyone who continues to support me. You know who you are. Thank you all so much!
