The current curation in gallery 1 contains an ever evolving display of work by our resident artists. There is a strong emphasis on contemporary painting, with some unique sculpture, vintage and hand built ceramics. Work is replaced as sold, creating a fluid and exciting display that warrants multiple returns.

Call in, chat to us about the work. We strongly believe art is for all and are happy to answer your questions. No elitism or false solemnity here.

We’re delighted to reveal the shortlisted artists for Memento Amoris, our fifth annual Alt Valentines exhibition and The Lido Stores’ sole open call of 2026. This year’s line‑up has been selected from more than 1,200 submissions by gallery owner‑curator Kristen Healy, who will soon transform Galleries 1 and 2 with works from over 120 artists.

This edition of Memento Amoris is set to be our most expansive yet – a vibrant cross‑section of contemporary art practices from a truly fantastic cadre of artists. “The Alt Valentines show has grown rapidly from a fun, light start to the year, to an exhibition with real depth and quality,” says Healy, “albeit it’s important that we want to keep that ethos and retain a bit of levity – it’s January, it’s cold and it’s dark and there’s enough going on in the world!”

We can’t wait to welcome you for what promises to be a buzzing opening reception on Saturday 7 February 2026, 7–9pm. The exhibition then runs until 15 March.

If you’d like to register interest in the works list, do get in touch. Our Alt Valentines exhibitions always feature bold works that provoke conversations. Collectors, don’t miss this opportunity!

We hope to see many of you, in particular our exhibiting artists and their friends and family, at The Lido Stores on Saturday 7th!

Disco Disorder Sheila Rennick

G2 | 25 April - 23 May
Disco Disorder is a series of paintings born from restrictions, creative urgency, and destructive tendencies. Themes of femininity, motherhood, popular culture, and social media emerge through both raw, instinctive works created quickly and pieces that evolve slowly over time.
