Mothers without Hands
31 July – 15 November 2026
Curated by Dr. Nicola Baird
The exhibition takes its title from The Girl Without Hands, a 1200-year-old fairy tale collected and revised by the Brothers Grimm. Featuring a girl whose hands are cut off and magically restored, it is a story not only about patriarchal oppression, persecution, violation and trauma, but also survival, strength and healing.

Contemporary Portraits from the Collections
Until 23 May 2027
Inspired by the strong focus on portraits in the Garman Ryan Collection, this temporary exhibition brings together a selection of artworks from the Gallery’s Permanent Collection.
The Garman Ryan Collection
Permanent Collection
This prestigious collection was donated to the people of Walsall in 1973 by Kathleen Garman. Kathleen had grown up in Wednesbury, lived her adult life in London, but wanted to give something back to her home county, believing it was important for culture to exist outside of the capital.
