Gallery guide

If you are interested in showing your work at one of our galleries, contact the individual library unless otherwise indicated.

Our galleries range from those with a high profile which show national touring exhibitions and work by a range of professional artists, to spaces in community libraries where artists who are at the start of their careers or talented amateur artists can show their work.

Generally 'community library arts spaces' show work by local art groups and artists. 'Mixed programme' indicates work by amateur, semi-professional and professional artists.

Follow the links below to find details of exhibition spaces and how to apply for an exhibition. For more details, including opening times, sales of artworks/prints or exhibition programmes, please contact the individual exhibition space.
