Weymouth Art Galleries
(Weymouth, Dorset, England, UK)
The art scene in the Weymouth and Portland area is fairly understated at present and several art galleries can be found in and around this seaside town. Amongst the most notable, the Leighton Art Gallery on Trinity Street is run by local Weymouth artists and has become well known in this area for its stylish paintings.
The Eastern Art Gallery on Abbotsbury Road is also worth a look and sells a range of inexpensive art works, as does the nearby Graham V Bundy Gallery along Rodden Row. Here are the top art galleries both in and around Weymouth.
