Exhibitions
Exhibitions at the Zillah Bell Gallery change monthly with annual Summer and Christmas exhibitions, the latter serving partly as a retrospective of the year and including the work of both established and up and coming Artists.
In 1996 and 2000, the surrealist artist and writer Anthony Earnshaw, exhibited there with Another G&T in 1996 and Flowers 2 in 2000.
The gallery is named after owner John Bell’s youngest daughter Zillah who, along with her sisters Daisy & Lettice Bell, were responsible for organising the Art of Care auction of postcards held in Edinburgh, 2005. Artists who exhibited at the Art of Care Auction included Sir Paul McCartney, David Hockney, Tracey Emin and Damien Hirst.
