Lowes Court Gallery is housed in an 18th Century listed building and was established in 1972 to promote the appreciation of the visual arts in Cumbria.

The Gallery aims to show high standard contemporary and traditional visual art and crafts, by emerging and established artists from Cumbria and bordering counties.

The building also houses a gift shop with a wide range of "Made In Cumbria" goods, and a busy Tourist Information Centre completes the services on offer.


A programme of exhibitions runs throughout the year in the Main Gallery. The Back Gallery provides a members' wall, which can be booked on a monthly basis.


Members display their work after approval by the selection committee.
