Val Harris

gallerist | curator | filmmaker | artist

Val spent the first twenty years of her career in the film industry and she has spent over twenty years since in the art world. A keen art collector from her twenties, Val is passionate about art being accessible to everyone. She started painting when she turned sixty.

I have two wonderful galleries,The Table & The Chair, that I curate for artists whose work quite simply appeals to me

I want to support artists, curators and indeed all creatives and offer gallery space to my public

I believe that the art market is changing and we need to change with it

COVID enabled and supported artists with direct selling … let’s carry on supporting them!

Galleries closed and never reopened so I am inundated with artists wanting to show work

I want to make films about artists … I want to make films about curation

if you don’t find me in one or other of my galleries I will be on the road filming with my artists
