Art for the Island - A Gallery Tresco Auction

Join us for an evening at Gallery Tresco, where a curated collection of works by our resident artists comes together in support of the island’s woodland recovery following Storm Goretti - helping shape the next chapter of Tresco’s landscape.

Saturday 25th July 2026
Gallery Tresco, 6pm

Inspired by the success of Patchwork of Paintings, we return to celebrate artistic inspiration in Art for the Island: A Gallery Tresco Auction.

Held at Gallery Tresco, this auction brings together a collection of works from some of our most established artists, each piece offered in support of the Woodland Recovery Project following Storm Goretti.

Works can be seen below or will be on display in the lead-up to the event, with all proceeds contributing to the careful work of clearing, restoring and replanting - helping shape the next chapter of Tresco’s landscape.

If you can't join us on the 25th, email us your bid so you don't miss out! For those on Tresco this July, there is no booking required - simply come along and see what catches your eye.
