The original gift of 67 works from Margaret Gardiner (1904-2005) forms the core of the Pier Arts Centre and its collection – the heartbeat – around which, everything else happens.

As part of this year’s Association for Art History’s Art History Festival, we are hosting a special Curatorial Tour. This event will provide an in-depth look into the current collection display Akin - Old and New Works from the Pier Arts Centre Collection uncovering connections between the modern and contemporary through significant works of British Modern Art and international contemporary painting and sculpture
