About Bankside Gallery
Bankside Gallery is on the south bank of the River Thames near Tate Modern, and is the Gallery of two historic art Societies: the Royal Watercolour Society, and the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers.
Bankside Gallery Description
Where we are:
Its pretty difficult to find us at the moment with the building works at Blackfriars and at the Tate, but we’re still here and open seven days a week.
Our entrance faces the Thames, so if you are coming along the Thames footpath diversion from the west, look out for the Bankside signs on Hopton Street and go through the archway. Turn right and you’ll spot the entrance. From the east head past Tate Modern and we’re down the steps on the left.
For artists or buyers collecting works from the Gallery, limited parking is available in Hopton Street for loading and unloading only.
Our societies:
The Royal Watercolour Society represents the finest watercolour painting in Britain; it is the oldest watercolour society in the world, established in 1804, and is second only to the Royal Academy of Art in importance as an art society.

The Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers (RE) was founded as the Society of Painter Etchers and Engravers in 1880, in order to counter the Royal Academy’s then refusal to recognise printmaking as a creative, rather than reproductive, art.
The Society has had many distinguished Members such as Walter Sickert, August Rodin, Dame Laura Knight, Graham Sutherland and Michael Rothenstein.

Mary Newcomb was an acute observer of her surroundings, reproducing her copious sketches alongside more finished paintings and short diary extracts to draw out the many themes which preoccupied her throughout her career as an artist.
Join us for an evening of conversation between Newcomb's Daughter and Grandson to discuss the themes in their new book: http://bit.ly/NewcombTalk

Off the Wall is all about making art affordable, original and above all accessible and that's why every artwork purchased from this exhibition is available to take home straight away. Sometimes the artworks seem to have a life of their own...
Take a break from your screen to glance at the intricate and inspiring artwork displayed near your desk. A distraction from your work can sometimes be welcome and according to The Guardian, art in a work environment can boost productivity, lower stress and increase wellbeing.

Bankside Gallery is the home of the Royal Watercolour Society and the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers and all artists elected to those societies are given honorifics to use after their name. Find out the story behind the 'RE' honorific here: http://bit.ly/WhatDoesREMeanAnyway
I was intrigued to discover that the more I wondered around Bankside Gallery, the more I loved abstract painting. I suppose that within my career we too work with bold colours, shapes and textures, which is what immediately drew me to the painting. - Shaun from The Table Café visited #OffTheWall and chose this Patricia Cain work as his favourite. - View the other works in our Bankside Business Choice here: http://bit.ly/BanksideBusinessChoice

always a lovely atmosphere, nicely hung exhibitions, accessible prices and a great little shop!
You all did a awsome job of giving Laurel Holloman an great opportunity to show her Art "Fertile Ground".
Wonderful exhibition space in such an amazing location in London. The exhibitions are always such a high standard and really inspirational work. Great supportive team.
We thoroughly enjoyed this gallery. Although a smaller space, it packed a huge punch with the works on show. Discovered a number of gifted artists. Will return
We had a wonderful time in The Bankside Gallery. We watched "Fertile Ground" by Laurel Holloman and if you had some questions about the exhibition they were very friendly and helped us out. Thanks alot for that!
Remarkable find,some really inspiring pieces
National Original Print - excellent exhibition in lovely gallery!
Love this gallery. There is always something interesting on wether it be prints paintings or collages. Very inspiring!
I enjoyed looking at the contemporary arts and paintings, loads of potpourri and ideas to satisfy your eyes and imagination. And the best part free entry! 🙌🏻😄
Huge fan - many wonderful and interesting exhibitions over many years. Bought seversl pieces at very reasonable prices. Great variety of styles of a high quality. Cool venue and it is next to the River, the Founders Arms, Campbell Bookshop snd Tate Modern x 2 - what's not to like?
Great gallery, beautifully stocked shop and always a very friendly welcome. Love it!
Current off the wall exhibition is far more inspiring than RAs Summer exhibition!
Cannot wait for the RWS Display of winners in the RWS Comtemporary Watercolour competition 2017, showing in March. A really inspirational (registered blind student), called Justine Raith is one of the winners with her work called - "Bardsey Island, North Wales". She's truly awesome and show's that disability is not a problem. I truly urge you to see this, along with every other winners works.
Better than Tate Modern - how's that for a review!
Beautiful setting, attended Natalia Avdeeva art exhibition and fashion show, it was amazing - Above and Beyond, it was fantastic, highly recommend

Fertile Ground ... The best place to live the Art in a very particular way !
