The New Art Gallery Walsall
The New Art Gallery Walsall is a world class gallery in the heart of Walsall town centre. Opened in February 2000, the £21 million building was made possible by £15.75 million Arts Lottery and commissioned by Walsall Metropolitan Borough Council.

Forthcoming exhibitions include a major selected survey of work by Christpher Le Brun (8 February - 6 April 2008), one of the most important British artists to emerge in the 1980s. Over 100 works including large-scale paintings, sculpture, watercolours and prints will reveal Le Brun as one of the most complex and challenging artists of his generation. The exhibition has been curated by The New Art Gallery's Director Stephen Snoddy.

Starstruck (23 April - 15 June 2008) explores our current obsession with celebrity through work by range of artists including Alison Jackson, Peter Davies, Candice Breitz, Yasumasa Morimura, Elizabeth Peyton, Mario Testino, Gavin Turk, Francesco Vezzoli and Jessica Voorsanger.

On permanent display is The Garman Ryan Collection which was donated to the people of Walsall by Lady Kathleen Garman, widow of sculptor Sir Jacob Epstein, in 1973. This unique collection is displayed in a series of intimate, interconnecting rooms, each with a window, making a house for the collection over the first and second floors of the gallery. The Gallery is also home to the Discovery Gallery, an interactive space for everyone to look, touch, explore, create, puzzle and play.

The temporary exhibition galleries on floors 3 and 4 are dedicated to exhibiting a changing programme of exhibitions
