Saul Hay Gallery was born out of the passion of its collector founders, Catherine and Ian Hay, and has quickly established itself as one of Manchester‘s key commercial art galleries.
In the heart of the city and yet tucked away on the banks of the Rochdale Canal, the gallery is located in a Victorian red brick former industrial building with a picturesque view of the local area.
Saul Hay opened its doors in 2016 and has been regularly organising exhibitions featuring artists from Manchester and beyond. They work with both emerging and established artists from a variety of mostly traditional disciplines – you’ll find a lot of painting, printmaking and drawing a as well as sculpture, ceramics and photography.
Artist highlights include painter Mandy Payne who captures views of the constantly changing urban environment and Brutalist architecture; while sculptor Adele Howitt who combines the organic with the otherworldly in clay.
If you’re used to seeing commercial galleries advertising glossy paintings of the Moomins in funny hats or abstract paintings by minor celebrities, you won’t find any of that here. Saul Hay’s work does not come from transient trends but is informed by the combination of expertise and passion for the arts.
If you’re looking to see contemporary art that you can also add to your very own collection, Saul Hay Gallery is the place.
