Happy Anniversary

serenarts gallery 14th anniversary

Here we are… still going strong after 14 years at the Tithebarn Workshops. We’ve seen some coming and some goings… some good times and some not so good, but we wouldn’t swap this for anything!

We just want to say a very big thank you to all those customers, family and friends that have supported us during our time here and look forward to another great year in 2023.

Happy New Year to you all and see you soon.

Website Expansion

We have actually started one of our New Years projects a little early and have begun to add all our printing and design services to the main SerenArts Gallery website / blog…

So whether it is a book printing job or simply a photocopy you are looking for, you will be able to find it all in one place.

Please come back again soon to see what has been added.

Calling Local Artists

We are taking orders for Christmas cards from your artwork. Why not send a more personal card this festive season… and show your work to the world!

From as little as 85p each (including quality envelope) we can create a bespoke 5″ x 7″ card with full colour printing to the front and back and your own message inside in black and white.

For more information or a quote, please feel free to contact us at SerenArts Gallery

Spot Your House!

Let’s have a quick game of spot your house!…

I came across this aerial photo of the Barton Farm and surrounding area when I was going through some old files the other day. It was used in a project we worked on for the Preservation Trust, for their book on the history of Barton Farm. Very interesting to see places you know from above and it does show what a beautiful area we have the pleasure to work in

Alive and Kicking!

serenarts gallery open

We got a bit of a shock yesterday when Jackie phoned to ask if SerenArts had permanently closed! NO! Fake news!

We’re not sure what happened but Google had our gallery listed as permanently closed. We would like to point out that this is absolutely not the case and we are very much looking forward to being able to reopen our lovely gallery in just 39 sleeps. We have already contacted Google to get this error corrected and hope to see you all on Monday 12th April (as long as Boris doesn’t change his mind!).

Just as a little reminder… we are currently able to offer our printing and photocopying services as it is considered an essential service, so please feel free to contact us at any time with your requirements.

Happy New Year

happy 2021 from serenarts gallery

Well… 2020 was certainly a bumpy ride! But we’re still here and ready for the renewed challenges that 2021 will bring. We will hopefully be updating our online shop over the coming weeks as new years stock arrives, so please come back soon to see the new goodies!

We did have a little scare over the festive period when the River decided to get rather full again…

We got away with this one and hope that anyone hit by it this time is now all dried out and safe.

We would like to thank everyone for the tremendous local support they have shown SerenArts and the other units at the Tithebarn Workshops and wish you all a very happy and prosperous new year.

Lockdown 2:0

serenarts gallery lockdown 2

With just over a week to go until the end of ‘Lockdown 2:0’ we thought we would give you a little update on how things are going at SerenArts Gallery.

Like many small businesses, this enforced closure could not have come at a worse time of year, hitting Christmas sales from our gallery very hard.  Although we have transferred the bulk of our shop items into our online shop and made Serena’s artwork available on her website, there is no doubt the coming months will be a challenge.  I made the mistake of calculating the percentage of annual retail sales that we would expect in November… not a good idea!

However… what these lockdowns have done is galvanise local people into looking nearer to home and supporting local firms in these difficult times.  We have noticed a marked increase in ‘Bradfordian’ customers and enquiries, which is great for the local economy (and ours!).  Hopefully, when we reopen after this current closure, people won’t have spent all their pennies with Amazon and we will see a lovely last minute rush for pressies!

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our existing and new printing customers for their fantastic support during this period.  We have had a large number of Christmas printing orders and continue to offer our ‘essential’ photocopying service.

Thank you very much and stay safe.

Mike & Serena
