Welcome To The Pannett Art Gallery

The Art Gallery was a gift to Whitby from Alderman Pannett “for the reception and preservation of my water colour drawings, and works of art.”

Exploring the Pannett Paintings

7 February – 30 April

Visit the gallery to see some of the wonderful artwork from the Pannett Collection.  This includes recent acquisitions from the Soper Collection.  These beautiful paintings, prints, drawings, illustrations, and ceramics are being publicly displayed in Whitby for the first time.

Through their artwork the Soper Collection tells the story of George Soper (1870 – 1942), and his daughters Eva (1901 – 1990), and Eileen (1905 – 1990).  This talented family were dedicated to revealing the wonder of the British countryside, including the wealth of wildlife they nurtured at their reclusive home.

The Bridge at Staithes (1902), by John Bowman

There is always a selection of work by the amazing Staithes Group of Artists on display. These British Impressionists painted as a group, in Whitby and along the Yorkshire coast, c. 1894 – 1909.
