Victoria Fearn Gallery is celebrating 20 years in Rhiwbina this year.
Here's how the popular art gallery has remained a local favourite
Rhiwbina village has seen a lot
come and go in the last two
decades. But one permanent
fixture that has always been a firm
favourite of locals is Victoria Fearn
Gallery.
The gallery is celebrating 20
years in the village this year, an
achievement made all the more
remarkable given the challenges
that have faced small businesses in
the last few years.
Owner Victoria Matia told Rhiwbina
Living:
"We are celebrating twenty
years in business this year and
we recently held our Summer
Exhibition preview, but it was also a
birthday party to celebrate 20 years
in the village. It was held on the 21st
This is a sponsored feature
June, which was the exact day we
opened twenty years ago. We had a
wonderful weekend and I am truly
grateful of the support over the
years to keep Victoria Fearn Gallery
in Rhiwbina village."
Specialising in original artworks
and contemporary British crafts, the
gallery has an excellent collection
of gifts to suit all tastes at affordable
prices.
"I work closely with our artists to
bring a uniquely curated selection
of contemporary art to the gallery
featuring well known Welsh artists
and top British designers. The
gallery acts as an agent for the
artists and these handmade items
remain the property of the maker
until sold."
Art exhibitions change frequently,
featuring numerous Welsh artists
such as Lynne Cartlidge, David
Knight, Chris Neale, and many
more. "Our exhibition space is
constantly changing as items sell
and we introduce new pieces
and makers to the gallery. Our
website features a selection of the
wonderful gifts we offer too," says
Victoria.
As well as a wide variety of
paintings, the gallery also has
a great selection of jewellery,
ceramics, hand blown glass,
books, leather accessories, textiles,
sculpture, and lots more.
"This year, we've got fabulous
Kimono gowns from Powder as part
of our Summer 2024 collection. Also
in stock are shoppers' favourites,
including Inis. All of their body care
products feature skin restoring
ingredients from the sea – seaweed
extracts and sea minerals – that
can help soothe, hydrate, and
rejuvenate the skin. If you're not
going on holiday this year, our
Inis products will help you feel
connected to the sea."
The gallery will make the most of
their achievements this season:
"Our summer exhibition will
continue until the end of August
but keeps changing as we sell
and introduce new pieces," adds
Victoria.
