Removed from Unnamed collection

John Hansard Gallery stands as a beacon of contemporary art in Southampton, earning international acclaim while remaining deeply connected to its local roots. Nestled within the University of Southampton, the gallery is on a mission to make the world a better place through the transformative power of art. How do they achieve this lofty goal? By curating innovative and critically acclaimed exhibitions, hosting dynamic events, and launching research projects that aim to excite, challenge, and engage as many people as possible.

Since 1979, the gallery was tucked away on the University’s Highfield Campus. However, in 2018, it found a new home in the stunning Studio 144 arts complex right in the heart of Southampton's city center. This move was a game-changer, offering much more space to showcase a diverse range of exhibitions and events. The gallery is all about learning and engagement, which form the backbone of its activities. You'll find an inspiring education and public program, complemented by community-focused projects that cater to people of all ages and experience levels.

One of the standout features of the gallery is its commitment to accessibility. Not only does it offer free admission, but it also provides resources for those with disabilities, ensuring everyone can enjoy the creative journey. Plus, the gallery's location in Southampton's cultural quarter means you're just steps away from other artistic gems, making it a perfect stop on a day of exploration. Whether you're an art aficionado or just curious, John Hansard Gallery promises an experience that is both enlightening and entertaining.
