Founded in 1904 as the only gallery in the UK devoted to a single artist, Watts Gallery offers a unique insight into the life and work of 'England's Michelangelo' George Frederic Watts and his wife Mary Watts, the designer and founder of The Potters’ Arts Guild at Compton.
George and Mary Watts shared a vision that art had the power to change society and should be available for everyone to experience and enjoy. We continue this legacy in many different ways, through our collection and exhibitions, programming, contemporary art projects and community engagement.
As a charity, we endeavour to reach and inspire all audiences made possible by the support of our visitors, shoppers, Friends, Patrons, donors and supporters.
We are delighted to announce that the Watts Gallery is recognised under the Arts Council’s UK Museum Accreditation Scheme. We have been accredited for excelling in the fundamental requirements of a museum, such as the management of our collection, our engagement with visitors and our governance. Our thanks go to everyone who has made this possible.
