The Hatton Gallery
The Hatton Gallery has played an important role in the education of Fine Art students at Newcastle University for almost 90 years. 
Situated at the heart of the University campus, the Hatton is home to the legendary annual Fine Art and MFA degree shows, as well as a regularly-changing, vibrant programme of historical and contemporary art exhibitions.
Now, we are planning and ambitious capital project to revitalise the Hatton, creating flexible galleries, including a new gallery for Kurt Schwitters’ iconic Merzbarn Wall, and a dedicated learning space. At the same time, we are developing a stimulating programme of contemporary art built around the Hatton’s excellent permanent collections, including loans, touring exhibitions and new commissions.
Thanks to Arts Council England’s Catalyst Arts scheme, every £1 donated to the Hatton Gallery between now and 31st May 2014 will be matched by £1. This means that a £100 gift, with Gift Aid, will be worth £225. Your support will make a significant difference to students of fine art and visitors alike. There has never been a better time to give.
Graduate Fred Brookes (BA Fine Art, 1967) explains what makes the Hatton Gallery special:
“The Hatton Gallery is a very central part of the education of the people who go through the Fine Art department, as I did and many others have done. It’s also a public venue. It has an accumulated set of works across a broad range, it’s able to contain and present exhibitions from a wide variety of sources, it’s got quite an eclectic approach, and it’s made a big contribution to the understanding of art in this city and much more widely.”
