Lowry and the Sea

L.S. Lowry is one of Britain’s most recognisable artists and this new exhibition explores the artist’s connection to Berwick and his lifelong fascination with the sea. It includes over 20 works on loan from The Lowry, Salford, The Arts Council Collection, Royal Academy of Arts and several private collections and is the first curated exhibition of his works in the town for 10 years.

During his childhood he enjoyed regular family holidays on the Lancashire coast. Later he travelled extensively throughout the British Isles and regularly visiting the North East and its coast.

He first visited Berwick-upon-Tweed in the mid-1930s and continued to visit the town until his death in 1976, perhaps drawn by its clear air and views out to the North Sea.

On the following Sundays, access to the exhibition will be free of charge for everyone, but you must book a ticket:

2 June, 7 July, 4 August, 1 September and 6 October 2024
