Visit The Gallery
Fylde Gallery, Booths, Haven Road, Lytham
A highly significant milestone in the life of the Collection was the building of the beautiful Fylde Gallery by the Booth family within their new store in Lytham in 2007.
It was built specifically to display artworks from the Lytham St Annes Art Collection and every year there are either one or two themed exhibitions when some of the items from the Collection are on display.
The First Exhibition
Herd Lassie, the first picture to be donated to the Collection by John Booth in 1925, hangs there proudly on long term loan.
The very first exhibition in the Gallery was of paintings by Richard Ansdell RA.
See list below of all the Exhibitions which have been staged in the Gallery containing items from the Collection.
Serving The Community
Booths, Fylde Borough Council and the Friends of Lytham St Annes Art Collection were anxious that this Gallery should be non-profit making and should serve the community.
This has meant that as well as displays of the Collection, local art societies and community groups can also display their work here.
CURRENT EXHIBITION TO 3 MARCH 2019
Pink Lady Food Photographer of the Year 2018
Now in its 6th year, The Pink Lady Food Photographer of the Year is the world’s leading celebration of food photography, highlighting all that is special and significant about food photography in our culture, recognising the art as never before. Booths have kindly provided us with the opportunity to view some of the wonderfully diverse prize winning and highly commended images.
The Pink Lady refers to Pink Lady Apples, with their unique flavour, the first to blossom and the last to be harvested!
