ART BOX

Heartbreaking news: Art Box Chester is closing at the end of July. 💔 It’s been a privilege to hold this space — thank you to everyone who’s supported us. Final day for sales is 31st July. If you’ve been meaning to visit, now’s the time. 🖼️🎨🖤

We promise everything’s right-side-up again… probably. But while you're here — what colour feels most like April to you? 🌸 Pink 🌧 Blue 🍃 Green 🌞 Yellow And which piece in the gallery do you think is the best example? #ChesterGallery #ColourPoll #ArtTalk

Just to remind you all - we are open Wednesday-Saturday this week, 10am-4pm. More artists are removing their pieces from the gallery so stocks are very limited right now. Please, come in and buy whilst they are still here - many pieces are reduced.

We're at 2 weeks until we close now. It's bittersweet - so many artists have come forward with stories of how the gallery helped them, and even though I was only here for half its tenure, it's still really meaningful to hear how small art spaces hold space in the community.

We are still open until July 31st, but we will not be obtaining new art - so if you see a piece, it might not be here for long!

Spent a moment tweaking the lighting on a few of our textured pieces today—makes such a difference seeing artwork catch the light just right. Sometimes the smallest shifts bring the most depth.

Good news! Art Box is inside! Come and stare at the lightning from a safe vantage point (with art)!

🎨✨ We’re back and the gallery is open! ✨🎨 After a short break, Art Box is ready to welcome you. Pop in to discover new local talent, explore vibrant artworks, and enjoy the creativity that surrounds us. 🖼️ Gallery Hours: Wednesday–Friday, 12–6pm | Saturday, 10–4pm

Don’t forget, today is the last day of Mark Wilson’s exhibition, A Positive from a Negative! If you want to support @HospiceGS and buy some beautiful local art, come by today!

📢 Don’t forget — Mark Wilson’s A Positive from a Negative runs until tomorrow at Art Box! Proceeds support the Hospice of the Good Shepherd — come see the work, and help make a difference. #MarkWilson #ArtBoxGallery #ArtForCharity #EmergingArtist #SupportLocalArtists

Mark Wilson brings a striking new collection to Boughton this May — a full-gallery takeover exploring memory, presence & change. 🗓 27–30 May 🍾 Launch: Tues 27 May (6–7pm VIP | 7–8pm public) 🤝 In partnership with the Hospice of the Good Shepherd #ArtBoxGallery

✨ Just a note for visitors to Art Box Chester: we have a gender-neutral toilet available at the back of the gallery for anyone who needs it. No need to ask — you're always welcome here, just as you are. That is what art is about. 🖼️🌸

For many artists—especially mothers and carers—creativity isn’t just an outlet. It’s a way to work without barriers. No clock-ins. No need to justify the school run. Just space to make, care, and grow. Happy #MothersDay to so many of our wonderful artists! #ArtCareers

What’s your favourite secret corner of @ShitChester? Our artists are painting the city’s soul – one brushstroke at a time. Prints by Louise Foster from her book 'The Last Little Pumpkin' - available from #ArtBoxGallery

THIS IS YOUR FINAL WARNING (because we won't be open on Sunday)! We have miniature canvases, little sculptures and most importantly, CARDS for your #MothersDay needs! Pop in today and buy some now! #SmallArtists #CommunityGallery #SupportLocalArtists
