Castlefield Gallery

Who we are

We are a contemporary art gallery and artist development organisation. Established by artists in 1984, our vision is to be one of the leading UK organisations for artists’ development, building a compelling case for supporting artists, their work, their careers, and at every level. We work with hundreds of artists every year, providing practice, career development, exhibition, and commission opportunities to those at all career stages, and from a diversity of backgrounds. We support more than 300 Castlefield Gallery Associates and a host of other creatives through person-centred development programmes. Castlefield Gallery New Art Spaces provide affordable making and project space in the North west, including on the high street. Working from our galleries in Manchester, off-site, online and in the public realm, we create long-lasting impacts in our city region, North West and beyond. We are a home for artists and creatives. We are advocates for what we believe in. We believe in the power of new art and the essential role of artists in society.
