For their second Slow Art Day, The Shipping Brow Gallery in Maryport, Cumbria, UK invited participants to explore artworks by renowned Cumbrian artist Percy Kelly. The gallery hosts the largest permanent collection of Kelly’s work in the United Kingdom.

Featured Works:
A selection of 35 paintings by Percy Kelly, prominently featuring local scenes, including the gallery itself.

The museum also introduced a prize drawing. Attendees submitted guesses identifying how many paintings depicted the Shipping Brow Gallery building for a chance to win a copy of the art book, The Man Who Couldn’t Stop Drawing, by Chris Wadsworth.

The event attracted a diverse group of attendees, ranging in age from 8 to 65 years, demonstrating broad community interest and engagement.

We thank Dolly Daniel and the entire Shipping Brow Gallery team for their organization and dedication to Slow Art Day 2025. We look forward to their participation in Slow Art Day 2026.
