Friends of The Ferens Art Gallery

The Friends of the Ferens Art Gallery was established in 1960 and exists:

* to encourage and promote appreciation and enjoyment of art and especially the activities of the Ferens Art Gallery.

* to provide pictures, sculptures, and other works of art for exhibition in the Ferens Art Gallery by way of gift to the permanent collection and to encourage others to do likewise.

* to encourage both private individuals and business to support the gallery and its activities.

* to raise money to support special projects at the Gallery, including improved facilities for children.

Each year, the Friends organise meetings, lectures and social events, as well as visits to places of artistic interest both at home and abroad.

Membership benefits include regular notification of events taking place in the Ferens Art Gallery, and a topical newsletter published at intervals during the year, with news of acquisitions, behind-the-scenes stories and competitions.

Recent purchases by, or with assistance from, the Friends, include "Oleander" by Henry Ryland, "Portrait of a Young Man" by C. J. Dusart, and a kinetic sculpture by Tim Lewis
