Public Notice: Crescent Arts Exhibitions Update

From February 2026, Crescent Arts will no longer programme exhibitions at Woodend Galleries following recent changes in management at Scarborough Museums and Galleries.

Since our founding in 1979, Crescent Arts has supported Scarborough’s visual arts community for over four decades through affordable studio provision, a year-round exhibitions programme, and a wide range of workshops and public events. Our commitment to sustaining and strengthening the town’s cultural life remains steadfast.

We are grateful for the opportunity to have delivered exhibitions at Woodend Gallery since 2020 and for the role the venue has played in connecting artists and audiences over the past five years.

We are currently reviewing and developing our future exhibitions programme alongside our ongoing outreach work. We look forward to announcing new opportunities to collaborate with local artists and partners in the near future.

In an increasingly challenging funding environment, we welcome support from individuals, organisations, and businesses. If you are able to offer exhibition space, provide financial assistance, or explore partnership opportunities, please contact us.
