The architect of The Sentinel was Laurie Wood & Associates and he has created a truly modernist building. We believe the sleek design adds cultural diversity to an already thriving small town.

Once planning permission had been received building of this fabulous statement building began in 2014. This is a new building designed to be of benefit to Wivenhoe and the whole community. 

Now owned by Lorraine & Pip George, the gallery is moving in new directions, A true home for art of all kinds ..... 
 
 

Pip and Lorraine George live at the Sentinel Gallery. They have created a special space in Wivenhoe.  A gallery that entertains visitors, respects and supports artists both local and from further afield whilst also supporting the work of The Rob George Foundation. 

How the gallery works: -

- Artists, either individually, or as a group, hire the gallery for a week commencing on a Thursday.  Their exhibition is their responsibility in every aspect.  All the gallery asks is a weekly hire charge from which the proceeds are donated to The Rob George Foundation.

- Or Lorraine fills available weeks with groups of artists who come together to put on an exhibition.  In this case artists donate 40% of their takings to The Rob George Foundation.

- In the meantime at the rear of the gallery is Lorraine’s studio.  Pieces are displayed and available to purchase with 60% of the proceeds being donated to The Rob George Foundation.  If you find Lorraine beavering away, please do say hello – she loves a natter!
