Pineapple Gallery

Situated in the heart of Bishop Auckland, the Pineapple Gallery was founded in 2016 by Gallerist Tom Gibbons - in 2020 it was awarded the Prestige Art Gallery of the Year for the North of England and in 2023 the Northern Enterprise Best Contemporary Art Gallery of the Year in County Durham.

Raised in a household full of creative expression, Tom’s passion follows three generations of artists and musicians. Perhaps the biggest influence on Tom was his mother who was listed in “Who’s who in Art” in the 1950’s for her work as a commercial textiles artist, having studied at the Central School of Arts and Crafts, Bloomsbury, London. The Pineapple Gallery are proud to own a large collection of her work (a sample may be viewed in the Pinery page), and midcentury wallpapers and textile products in her designs can now be ordered at the Pineapple Gallery at info@thepineapplegallery.uk & 07841188295 and on Shopify at Pinery at Pineapple Gallery.

The motivation of the gallery is to display high quality contemporary art whilst promoting and increasing the recognition of artists in a search that is both national and international. Tom feels it is a huge privilege to visit the studios of the artists he presents to discover more about the technique of their work. His aim is to bring to you that brilliance, along with the beauty and the novelty that moves him. 

We have problems with disabled access to the first floor, but wish to do all we can to make your experience here fulfilling - in keeping with the pineapple being the international symbol of welcome!
