UPSTAIRS GALLERY
UpStairs Gallery at Exchange Square, Beccles, Suffolk has been open since 2007 with Michelle Payne as gallery owner and manager. It has been featured in many publications since its beginning and has grown to win seven awards, including Pride in the Community, Suffolk County Council and Waveney Chamber of Commerce–Growth and Redevelopment, and Barclays Trading Places Top 100 business. The ethos of the gallery was to allow all artists to participate in exhibiting their work, artists could display their works commission free, which allows them maximum revenue for their skills and development. Student, emerging, established, and professional artists could exhibit, giving the exhibitions a variety to select their choice and prices. The artists and craft-makers had fifteen large, roomed arts galleries to rotate every month. Suffolk artists who have exhibited with the UpStairs Gallery include Rinat Baibekov, David Buck, Claire Dowson, Ania Hobson, Theronda Hoffman, Paul Janssens, Annie Mclean, Rob Negus, Richard Nejranowski, Marion Newcombe, Jess Parker-Andrews, Michelle Payne, Annie Rice, Clare Rizzo and Paul Zawadzki. This gallery has now closed.
