The
Harvey Gallery came into being in
September 1979, the brainchild of
the then Head of the Visual Arts
Department. Initial funding came
from the Adult Education Centre,
whose Principal saw the potential
of a student-run, student-supported
gallery. It was created with the
assistance of students and staff
alike. Since that time the Gallery
has held 15 exhibitions each year,
covering a wide variety of visual
arts. Very early on it earned a
reputation for innovation, actively
encouraging first-time exhibitors,
as well as practising artists. The
Gallery continues to this day to
be a showcase not only for professional
artists, but also for local students
venturing into the world of displaying
their talents, a facility not available
in most adult learning establishments.
We celebrated our Silver Jubilee
in 2004.
Besides the exhibition space itself
(an ideal size room for such a facility,
well lit and easy to circulate in)
the Gallery has the advantages of
an adjacent coffee bar, direct level
access from the Harvey Road, disabled
parking outside, and reduced-rate
parking nearby. The free Guildford
Shuttle Bus also stops a short walk
away.
The Harvey Gallery is managed by
a committee of volunteers drawn
from visual arts students and staff,
who contribute their time, skill
and experience to running the Gallery
and maintaining its high standards
and artistic reputation. The Committee
realises that not everyone appreciates
how communal and accessible the
Gallery is, and are continually
striving to raise its profile amongst
the student body.
