Colin Jellicoe Gallery
About

Colin Jellicoe Gallery, located on Portland Street in central Manchester, was a beloved fixture of the city’s art scene for over five decades. Founded by Manchester-born artist Colin Jellicoe, the gallery became known for its commitment to showcasing original, expressive works that defied commercial trends. Jellicoe’s own paintings, alongside those of artists such as Geoffrey Key and Ken Lamming, reflected a deep engagement with northern landscapes and urban life. The space maintained a resolutely independent ethos, offering wall space to artists whose work celebrated individuality and depth. Even after Jellicoe’s passing in 2018, the gallery’s legacy continues to resonate through exhibitions, auctions, and community projects that honour its founder’s vision. For those seeking authentic artistic voices and a connection to Manchester’s cultural roots, the Colin Jellicoe Gallery remains a symbol of integrity and creative freedom.
