The Friends of Guildhall Art Gallery (FoGAG)


Friends of Guildhall Art Gallery

By becoming a Friend you will be able to play an important part in the life of the Gallery and help to secure its future.  Independent of the Gallery, and a registered charity, FoGAG has become a vital contributor to Guildhall Art Gallery, raising funds to help purchase some significant additions to the collection and support specific projects. 

Since our inception in 2002, the Friends are proud to have contributed to the purchase of four major paintings:

  • The Pool of London, by Samuel Scott;
  • Smithfield Market, by John Paul;
  • V2 Bomb Crater in Snow II 2004 (Epping Forest), by Julian Perry; and
  • Metropolitan Cattle Market, Copenhagen Fields, Islington, by William Henry Davis.

in addition to providing funding for the William Powell Frith exhibition.

Volunteers do all the administration for the Friends organisation, which helps keep costs to a minimum, allowing more money to be used to support the work of the Gallery.
