Artists Harbour Gallery is situated at the heart of Britain's maritime heritage and art in Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. This artist-friendly gallery shows regular exhibitions of contemporary, marine or old naval fine work from British and local artists. Buy original paintings and prints, photography, reproductions, sculptures, posters, cards, materials, books. The Gallery also offer a range of traditional and high-tech services, from framing to giclee printmaking.

Our gallery lies within a beautiful Grade I listed building, Storehouse 9, itself a former Royal Navy gun store built in 1782. The wooden floorboards were taken from French warships captured by Nelson and his colleagues between 1756 and 1763 (even before Captain Cook sailed from near here to "discover" Australia). The historic floor features a green concrete runway for the great ships' cannons to be rolled out of store. Outside our windows is a Georgian brick colonnade also floored in French ships' timbers.

The gallery stock an exciting range of original paintings, sculptures, ceramics, photography, limited and open edition prints, art posters, books and the best range of greetings cards in the area.
