New Kent Art is the brainchild of local artists Brian Hodgson and Karen H King - to open a new, intimate fine art gallery space in Broadstairs. After years of struggling to find affordable gallery space to exhibit our own work and realizing that many of our fellow artists experienced the same frustrations, we decided to try to set up a new gallery space in our beautiful town of Broadstairs.
We held a joint 'Open Studio' last summer and formulated our plan over many cups of tea and lemon drizzle cakes. It became apparent that we could work well together and create a space that we and other artists could use. When the opportunity to take on the lease of a small unit right in the heart of Broadstairs arose, just yards from the seafront and harbour, we grabbed the bull by the horns and here we are!

Our gallery will host a changing diary of exhibitions throughout the year. We will feature local artists and work from all fields, and showcase both traditional and contemporary work.

If you would like to join our mailing list please email us at info@newkentart.com and we will keep you up to date with all our events.
Carl Scarlett returns to the gallery this month for the fourth year to be our August guest artist. Carl's work is always a treat and extremely popular with our visitors. His expressive brush marks and incredible use of light makes his work instantly recognizable. This year he has produced a gorgeous selection of small works that will all be available to buy from 125 upwards.
Paul Gadenne brings a delightful selection of paintings to the gallery featuring Broadstairs scenes. Bringing her usual wealth of colour and form, Heather will be exhibiting some new pieces created during lockdown alongside some older work inspired by her time in France. Landscapes and trees always feature in her work and it promises to be a powerful show filled with autumnal tones.
New Kent Art Gallery & Studio is a new, intimate gallery space in the heart of Broadstairs that showcases local artists and is available to hire by artists or collaborative groups. We also hold several 'Open Exhibitions' throughout the year and will be posting full details on the website as they approach.
If you are interested in making a booking with us or would like more information about hiring the gallery space then drop us an email or download our information sheets and booking forms. Our gallery is approximately 8 feet wide by 29 feet long and has 3 large windows and excellent lighting. We use a hanging system that enables us to hang your exhibition professionally and swiftly, making exhibition changeovers simple and stress-free.

This little gallery is well worth a visit. Staff are friendly and always willing to chat about the work and artists. Definitely a good place to pop into during a walk through Broadstairs, unlikely you’ll leave empty handed, even if you were only meant to be buying bread and milk from Victory News.......
