ABSTRACT :
Bo Lee and Workman is quickly being recognised as one of the leading UK commercial galleries outside of London. Since its initial founding in 2009 as bo.lee gallery there has been a clear commitment to nurturing talent and a keen eye for detail. In 2022 the gallery evolved, bringing together over 30 years of combined experience and expertise of its Directors Jemma Hickman, founder of bo.lee gallery, and Alice Workman, previously Senior Director of Hauser & Wirth Somerset. Bo Lee and Workman presents a high quality exhibition programme and supports early to mid-career artists. The team is committed to providing a strong programme to its local and international audience, and a platform to connect artists with collectors, alongside collaborations with curators and institutions. Bo Lee and Workman opened a permanent gallery space in 2023, in Bruton, Somerset, a leading UK destination for art, outside of London, with a burgeoning art scene. Located in the former Methodist church on the town’s historic High Street, the gallery has transformed the building’s classically proportioned nave into an open and accessible venue for contemporary art that is thoughtful and sensitive to the building’s past life: a contemplative and inspiring space for artists, the local community, and a wider audience.
