About the gallery
In the heart of Poundbury, nestled between Queen Mother Square and Crown Square, The Walnut Gallery hosts an inspiring collection of contemporary art — specialising in painting, sculpture, ceramics, screenprints, photography, wood, textiles and fine art prints by leading Dorset artists, alongside exceptional works from across the UK and beyond.
Our inviting space showcases a carefully curated programme of Featured Artists and solo exhibitions running from February to December, along with opportunities to meet our artists in residence.
The story of the walnut
“Beautiful tree. Many uses. Call me.”
An old walnut tree once stood in the garden of my husband's childhood home. When it was felled, we found that note pinned to the trunk. That single tree lives on as lovingly handcrafted stools, tables and boards — its story reshaped, not ended.
The Walnut Gallery grew from the same belief: that beauty evolves and craftsmanship endures. Designed alongside family life, the story continues, as we collaborate with talented artists and makers to create a welcoming space where beautiful, thoughtful works of art can be discovered and loved.
Under one roof
The creative atmosphere is shared with the established printing business Art2Card — art and fine-art printing under one roof. With over 16 years of experience, Art2Card works with artists of all talents and disciplines to produce giclée fine art prints and quality greeting cards.
Pop in and visit us — we look forward to welcoming you.
