126 Artist-Run Gallery is a contemporary art gallery managed and run by a group of professional creatives who donate their time to maintain an exhibition space committed to challenging contemporary art in the city.
126 provides free exhibitions of ground-breaking, boundary testing contemporary art. Visitors to 126 will find a friendly environment with a changing programme of provocative projects. Families and groups are welcome. School or college groups can arrange to meet the gallery team to talk about the operations of the gallery. The gallery maintains a 12 month exhibition programme, as well as producing publications, commissioning research and providing residency opportunities.
