The New Ashgate Gallery Trust is dedicated to promote and champion the best contemporary art and craft in the market place and to provide an unparalleled resource in Farnham, Surrey and beyond. It raises aspirations and inspires excellence. The trust delivers exhibitions and projects in the gallery and the community, fostering emerging artists and supporting diverse participation in arts. As a not-for-profit organisation, the gallery relies on sales from exhibitions and donations to further charitable aims and programme.

The summer season begins with three new exhibitions: Ceramics Now is a national event celebrating the diversity and excellence in contemporary studio pottery. Hester Berry's Horizons explores the pleasures of the great outdoors, painted in recycled materials. The affordable Craft Collection is for all novice and expert collectors of the quality crafts who wish to find affordable yet a unique piece of craft - also, providing perfect gift ideas.

Partnership for UCA and New Ashgate Gallery
The University for the Creative Arts (UCA) and the New Ashgate Gallery announce a new partnership. A Memorandum of Agreement was signed on 22 March 2013 and will enable UCA students to show and sell more work at the gallery.
