Bawden Cases | Art in Print

Many of the exhibitions at Morley Gallery, established 1968, have been documented with an exhibition catalogue. In this exhibition you can rediscover artworks exhibited through publications from the 90s and onwards.

From the very beginning, the gallery has hosted a full programme of exhibitions. It has celebrated the creative talents of Morley’s staff and students; exhibited independent artists and members of the local community, and also hosted international and national competitions. All the publications are for sale in Morley Gallery where you’ll also find display copies to look through. You can also enjoy the artwork publications of gallery patron Maggi Hambling and books about Morley College’s history and art collection.
