The Green Man Gallery

Latest News

13th September 2021

The gallery is closed during the day for the whole of September and will re-open to the public on Friday 1st October, 10.30am to 4.30pm. After a hugely successful and relentlessly busy summer, we need to close temporarily for essential maintenance and for our artists and local volunteers to take a break.

Classes and other events will continue throughout September: Life Drawing on Tuesday evenings; Pottery Tuition with Earth Pig Pottery; Buxton Spoken Words on 13th September; and the Frames 4 Art Pop-Up Shop fortnightly from 10th September.

The Frames 4 Art Pop-Up Shop comes to the gallery every other Friday from 10.30am to 1pm. This is a bespoke service for artists and artist groups and you will need to book an appointment rather than just dropping in.

We have a vibrant and varied programme of events in October including new art workshops, an Artists at Work Day and some great live music. Online booking for the gigs is now open. Further details on our What's On page.

About us

The Green Man is an independent contemporary gallery and arts centre in Buxton, Derbyshire, managed and run by its artist members. It is a not-for-profit organisation and all of its staff are volunteers.

The gallery has been open since November 2012 and its current home is Hardwick Studios (formerly known as Hardwick Hall); a fascinating Victorian building in the centre of town. In the past eight years The Green Man has established itself as an exciting creative hub for the local community and visitors alike with a varied programme of exhibitions, workshops, classes and performances.

In more normal times, the gallery hosts extensive and ever-changing exhibitions of original contemporary art and craft by gallery members, and by guest artists and designer makers from across Derbyshire. These include paintings, photography, prints, mixed-media, textiles, jewellery, ceramics, leather and glass items and a wide range of original artist cards and postcards. Several of our Resident Artists work in open studio spaces on the first floor.

Upstairs there is a large Workshop Room which is available for hire and the ground floor gallery can also be hired as a performance venue and for meetings, talks, presentations and receptions.

Entry is free and the welcome is friendly and warm. You can stay for as long as you like to browse and buy or relax with a coffee and chat to the artists on duty.
