Christ Church to the international art exhibitions we host in our galleries. Every year, thousands of visitors
enjoy our exhibitions, which showcase emerging artists of the future and established names from the
world of sculpture, ceramics, fine art, animation and photography.
Previous exhibitions at our sidney Cooper city centre gallery in Canterbury have included works by
Henry Moore and Billy Childish and 2012 continues this exciting arts line-up with work by Anish kapoor,
Humphrey ocean and richard long, to name but a few.
