About
Purple Gallery is an independent art gallery in Birmingham established in April 2005. It was founded by Colin Carruthers, a renowned painter, and his wife Jane Carruthers, who has successfully run the gallery since its inception.
In 2021, at the end of the COVID lockdown period, the gallery entered an exciting new chapter under the ownership of artist Richard Russell, continuing its strong artistic vision while embracing fresh ideas.
Purple Gallery showcases a carefully curated selection of affordable, high-quality artwork, including paintings, original prints, ceramics, sculpture, jewellery, and craft. Located in a vibrant community near Bournville’s famous Cadbury Factory, the gallery offers a welcoming space to discover and enjoy ART. During the summer months, visitors can also enjoy refreshments in the Sculpture Garden at weekends.
New to Purple Gallery is a professional In-house FRAMING Service, developed over the last couple of years and already has an excellent reputation. The service offers high-quality, bespoke framing solutions, providing artists and collectors with expert advice and craftsmanship.
