WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT US…
I’ve been visiting Twenty-Twenty for what must be 20 years now. As I look around my house I see many prints, pictures and objects that I have acquired from Mary and Hugh which I’m pleased to say I’m as thrilled with today as I was on the day I purchase them.

“Always worth a visit when you are in Ludlow, their exhibitions are so well curated” WW London
AND SOME OF OUR ARTISTS AND MAKERS…
“I’ve been showing my work with Mary and Hugh at TwentyTwenty Gallery for many years. It has been a complete pleasure. They are very supportive and make the process of exhibiting and selling work simple and enjoyable with their enthusiasm and efficiency.”
Ann McCay – Shrewsbury
“I’ve been lucky enough to have been showing with Twenty Twenty Gallery for 15 years, many of those years in Much Wenlock and now, since their move, in Ludlow, where I’m sure they will go from strength to strength. It’s been such a pleasure to work with Mary and Hugh, who have always been very kind and professional, with a large dose of humour and bonhomie thrown in!”
Sue Campion RBA – Shrewsbury
With their knowledge and expertise accrued over decades, Mary and Hugh Elliott – co-directors of Twenty Twenty Gallery – have long been immersed in art and design. They first met as degree students at Bristol, where Mary, studying Fine Art, was taught by the St Ives painters Paul Feiler and Michael Canney. Hugh meanwhile studied three-dimensional design, specialising in furniture, in a department which followed Bauhaus principles of learning and development.
Mary and Hugh first established their gallery in Much Wenlock in 2004, and 14 years later relocated to Ludlow. From the outset, their focus has been on carefully curated exhibitions by a broad range of contemporary artists and makers, in work encompassing painting, printmaking, sculpture and ceramics. Over the years, the gallery has developed strong relationships with its artists, nurturing careers and promoting work to reach ever developing audiences via both physical and online presentations. Throughout, the focus has been on quality, individuality, and staying power.
The gallery clientele is local, national, and international, and includes both established collectors and those considering their first-ever purchase. Many take advantage of the interest free Own Art scheme, which makes collecting more easily accessible. Mary and Hugh pride themselves on the relationships they have developed with clients, many of whom have gone on to form substantial collections of gallery artists.
For a subscription of £20 per year, the Friends of Twenty Twenty Gallery receive a discount of 5% on purchases over £20, printed catalogues, and invitations to private views and special events at the gallery.
Tamsin Bridge has been part of the team at Twenty Twenty since we opened in Ludlow and also worked at the gallery in it’s previous existence as the Silk Top Gallery. In 2019 she obtained an MA from Hereford College of Art and has now established herself as a professional artist in her own right. She brings all of this experience and knowledge to the benefit of Twenty Twenty’s customers.
