HAPPY!: Hatton Gallery

14 February 2026 - 9 May 2026

Hatton Gallery

Kings Road, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 7RU

HAPPY! is a joyful exploration of how artists become artists, curated by the Hatton Gallery’s young people’s group, L-INK, in partnership with Jerwood Collection. Featuring over 30 works on loan from the Collection — including pieces by Gillian Ayres, Prunella Clough, Yinka Ilori, Alan Davie, and Margaret Mellis — the exhibition celebrates creativity, education, and the many paths that lead to making art. Alongside these works, pupils from local schools will showcase their own responses, inspired by Victor Pasmore’s 1957 Art Education Exhibition.
