Audrey Amiss: Kitchen Sink Realism 🎨

Our friends on Floor 2 at the Northern Gallery for Contemporary Art (NGCA) are showcasing a major solo exhibition celebrating Sunderland-born artist Audrey Amiss.

Presented by NGCA and the University of Sunderland, *Kitchen Sink Realism* brings together previously unseen paintings, drawings and archival material, offering a fascinating insight into the artist's life and work.

The exhibition takes its title from Amiss' own words:

“I was once in the tradition of social realism, also called the kitchen sink school of painting, but I am now avant garde and misunderstood.”

Made possible thanks to the generous support of Wellcome Collection, London, the exhibition celebrates Amiss' long-held ambition to be recognised as an artist in her own right.

Best of all, it's completely free to visit!

If you're heading into Culture House, we'd highly recommend taking some time to explore what our friends upstairs have to offer.
