The Hatton Gallery was founded in 1926 and has provided Newcastle University and the city with what has been described by The Times as one of the most impressive exhibition spaces in Britain.

All funds raised by the Friends of the Hatton are directed towards the support of Gallery activities. Help has been provided for the acquisition of works, but the main contribution is assistance with the expense of curating exhibitions or providing specialist staff for workshops.
