Who We are:
(Our founders Ronnie Parry and Katie Crawley)
Gartree Galleries is a family run business officially born in April of 2022. For over 10 years we have sold art work on eBay accumulating almost 1000 positive reviews and now we’ve decided we want to bring our message to the world.
As a family we have always been interested in art, Ronnie has collected a variety of artists work over the years from the likes of Lowry to Bob Dylan. When artists like Banksy came to the surface a new era of art was born, which ignited our passion for meaningful art that was sparking conversation. Although we collect an array of different art work, our favourite is definitely the up and coming scene of street and modern art. We have always known there was a big market for this type of art, therefore we took the leap and decided to make Gartree Galleries Limited to make art accessible across the world. We hope you love meaningful art as much as we do, join us on our journey as we bring you various artists that inspire and create conversations .
The Concept:
We are a creative brand, passionate about the meaning behind the art. We want to share unique, bold and sometimes controversial art as we believe it is so important to put art with a purpose on a pedestal. Banksy is the first artist we chose to print and sell on our website as he holds such power within his work. Our idea is to get more people talking as so much unfolds around us in society, it is artists like Banksy who capture the message. We want to promote up and coming artists as well as established ones to amplify their voice and showcase their purposeful art world-wide. We want to provide art with a meaning to everyone.
Our Mission:
We want to bring people from different classes, ethnicities and genders together to celebrate the talent of artists. We aspire to provide art to everyone. Owning art can often be looked at as unattainable to the normal person. We believe this to be wrong, therefore we offer high quality and good value reproductions of art so we can allow art to be a discussion piece in others lives.
Join us on our mission to share meaningful art worldwide. We hope to provide a space for more artists to share their work with us and attract attention to talent and purposeful work.
We plan to ignite a community through Gartree Galleries with the likes of : Newsletters to keep you updated on everything in the art world, subscription services that will give you access to new art and related items every month and we plan to hold social events for up and coming artists to showcase their work and share their talent.
We believe art is such a powerful tool in creating conversation and sparking passion , therefore it is our mission to bring art lovers together.
Our Sustainability promise:
We promise that by the end of 2023, we will be using fully-sustainable packaging for all of our products. We feel it is majorly important for us to promote sustainability , as the art we sell depicts ecological problems such as deforestation and climate change. Our posters are printed on recycled paper and we are currently in the process of researching the most sustainable packaging option, that will be implemented by the end of 2023.
We understand that there is an environmental concern when it comes to shipping and delivery emissions. Which is why we use Royal Mail as they have the lowest reported carbon footprint rate when compared to any other delivery company here in the UK.
