Mike Thomas, Centre Manager at McArthurGlen's York Designer Outlet, says: "We are very excited to welcome Whitewall Atelier to the centre. The gallery will further enhance our already excellent homeware offering, as well as attracting a new audience of local art lovers and collectors to the outlet."

Elizabeth Taylor at Whitewall Galleries, comments: "Art is something that should be accessible to everyone rather, than being an unaffordable luxury to many. With the gallery at York Designer Outlet being our first outlet gallery in the UK, we are thrilled that we can provide shoppers with our best pieces of original artwork from around the world, for less.
