Collections

We’re always growing our collections to better reflect the stories, creativity, and identities of Preston and beyond. Our recent acquisitions include powerful contemporary artworks, vibrant pieces by local makers, and objects that reflect underrepresented voices and lived experiences.

Whether it’s a striking ceramic by a young artist, a rare textile linked to Preston’s industrial past, or a personal item donated by a local resident, each new addition helps us tell a fuller, richer story—one that belongs to all of us.

At The Harris, our dedicated staff members are passionate about the treasures we care for. Each recommendation offers a glimpse into the connections our team has forged with the art, history, and culture housed within our walls.

Whether it’s an artwork that sparked inspiration or a cozy reading nook that invites reflection, our staff’s curated selections highlight the diverse experiences that make The Harris a true cultural hub.
