Sir Peter Blake Gallery

Our gallery is an exhibition space showcasing emerging and established artists. It also provides exhibitions of interest to Dartford people.

We're supporting the 2024 Summer Reading Challenge. As part of its' Marvellous Makers programme, we're hosting a special exhibition of children's artwork this September.

Children can submit artwork that is inspired by the books they've read on or before August 10.

Inspired artworks should be no larger than A4, contain a short sentence on what and be able to be framed. Your contact details, name of child (and age) should be clearly marked on the rear of the work.

The gallery celebrates the extraordinary career of artist Sir Peter Blake who was born in Dartford in 1932.

One of Britain's best known artists and a major influence on the Pop Art movement, Sir Peter has contributed some of the most globally recognisable art and design of modern times including artwork for the covers of The Beatles' album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and Band Aid's Do They Know It's Christmas?

Based in the same building as Dartford Library and the Borough Museum, the gallery is curated by Dartford Borough Council on behalf of Kent County Council's Libraries, Registrations and Archives Service.
