Danby Lodge’s exhibitions space Inspired By... celebrates art shaped by the landscape, wildlife and stories of the North York Moors.
Nestled inside Danby Lodge National Park Centre in the heart of the North York Moors National Park is this inspiring art gallery with a dynamic exhibition programme.
Changing exhibitions
A rolling programme of exhibitions showcases work across painting, ceramics, sculpture, photography and textiles, each responding to the moors’ unique atmosphere. Artists are inspired by changing skies, seasonal colours and local stories, so the gallery evolves with the seasons. Visitors can expect bold contemporary pieces alongside traditional approaches, reflecting the breadth of creativity this landscape inspires.
Creative community
The gallery provides a platform for both established and emerging artists. Workshops, talks and events offer ways to engage more deeply with what's on display, encouraging conversations between artists and audiences. It’s a welcoming, accessible space that values participation and exploration as much as viewing.
Inspirational setting
Located at Danby Lodge National Park Centre, the gallery sits within a landscape of heather moorland, wooded valleys and striking coastline. The surrounding scenery offers a peaceful way to unwind and explore nature.
