Towner is an exciting new art gallery which will be a leading centre
for visual arts in the South East, opening for the first time on
Saturday 4 April 2009.
Towner will present a unique programme of major exhibitions of
contemporary and historical visual art alongside displays from the
important Towner art collection. Tracey Emin, Douglas Gordon, Ivon
Hitchens, Bridget Riley, and Yinka Shonibare are just a few of the
artists previously shown at the Towner.
The Towner Collection includes Modern British Artists such as David
Bomberg, Elizabeth Frink, Victor Pasmore, Eric Ravilious and
Christopher Wood. Through the Contemporary Art Society Special
Collection Scheme it now owns work by Tacita Dean, Olafur Eliasson,
Anya Gallaccio, Julian Opie, and Wolfgang Tillmans.
The gallery’s bright future and strong history of public engagement
will be celebrated with four outstanding inaugural exhibitions.
Towner’s ability to attract international artists is proven with the
exhibition Nowhere Man. Chilean sculptor Iván Navarro works with
fluorescent and incandescent light and has been commissioned to
produce a series of eleven new works. This exhibition will be his
first solo show in a UK public gallery and precedes him representing
Chile at the Venice Biennale of international art this Summer.

galleries of international standard, fully accessible Towner
Collection display, storage and research facilities, a suite of rooms
for workshops, events and meetings, large-scale exhibition halls, to
