About Skyway Gallery

The Skyway Gallery was the brainchild of Shoreham Community Trust trustee and local artist Danny McBride. He spotted the potential of the newly refurbished space within the Shoreham Centre. In 2016 Angela Edwards, also a local artist was brought on board as artistic director. In 2022 Crimson Trebar joined the Skyway team as Curator.

The refurbishment of the Shoreham centre was completed in 2016 and in September of that year the gallery was launched. The gallery occupies the foyer and upper walkway of the centre and once the hanging system was installed offers over 80 mtrs of hanging space. The gallery can accommodate very large pieces, as well as offering a dedicated sculpture area as well as cabinets for the display of small 3D work and sketchbooks.

The gallery has gone from strength to strength with at least ten large exhibitions a year, which have included retrospectives, a recycling sculpture festival, lantern display, solo and group shows. None of this would be possible without our very dedicated team of volunteers who help to hang and take down the exhibitions, as well as attend our regular private views.

The gallery has been involved in many collaborative projects with local organisations such as Shoreham’s Wordfest, Ropetackle arts centre, Over the moon, Adur art collective, Apron and Esteem.

We are very grateful for the ongoing support from Adur council, Fitzhugh Gates and Arts council England which has enabled us to continue to develop the gallery. The Skyway gallery’s aim is to be inclusive with all of our exhibitions, showing work by both well established and amateur artists. If you are interested in having an exhibition please contact us and we will send you details of the application process.
