The village of Staithes on the north Yorkshire coast has always been and still is a magnet for art and artists. Our aim at Staithes Gallery is to provide a showcase right in the heart of the old village for the very best contemporary artwork inspired by Staithes and the surrounding area. Our exhibitions reflect the quality and variety of art stimulated by this most inspirational of villages.

The Smugglers is a spacious and elegant five bedroomed maisonette with a large and versatile sitting/dining/function room overlooking the High Street. The Laura Knight Studio is a cosy studio/cottage hideaway where the Staithes Group Artists Laura and Harold Knight once painted.

Love this gallery in the heart of Staithes. We have bought a number of paintings from here. Always a friendly welcome when you walk through the door. Stunning artwork is always on display by mostly local artists. Always worth a visit.

A 'must see' place for all who visit Staithes. A superb gallery selling some of my favourite artist's work, run by Al, who is so approachable and friendly.
