About The Gallery

Located in the heart of historic St Andrews, Gallery Franklin offers a unique contemporary art experience across two beautiful spaces - a spacious townhouse gallery featuring five distinct rooms, and also a charming garden gallery. Together, these venues showcase bold works full of colour, energy and individuality. We are proud to represent artists from the whole of the UK.

Gallery Franklin is owned and run by Lesley Franklin, a former head teacher who followed her passion for art by completing a Master’s in Art History at the University of St Andrews and then training at Sotheby’s in London. In May 2024, she bought the long-established Fraser Gallery and has reimagined it into Gallery Franklin by embracing a range of British contemporary artists from the entire UK. The Gallery champions both established names and emerging talent.

Gallery Franklin is fortunate to have a huge range of clients, from local residents and university students, to tourists and visitors from across the world - making Gallery Franklin a vibrant part of St Andrews’ cultural fabric. Our outlook is national and international and we connect with collectors, interior designers and art lovers across the UK and beyond.

With frequently changing exhibitions and a constantly evolving collection, there is always something new to discover. Whether you are a seasoned collector or just beginning your art journey, our knowledgeable and welcoming team is always happy to help and to advise on the perfect piece, hand-made frames and worldwide shipping
