About David Simon Contemporary

David Simon Contemporary was established eighteen years ago as a physical gallery. We represent contemporary artists and also deal in 20th Century Modern British and School of Paris artists. The gallery occupies a former Georgian bank on the High Street of Castle Cary, Somerset. We have a programme of monthly changing exhibitions, alongside our viewing room for works in the gallery's collection. The gallery often presents focussed 'pop-up' exhibitions in London.
