About Castlefield Gallery
We are a contemporary art gallery and artist development organisation.
Established in 1984, we’ve led the way in artist development for 40 years. We provide creative and career development, exhibition opportunities and commissions for artists and independent creatives. We work from our gallery in Manchester, off-site, online and in the public realm.
We create long-lasting impacts in our city region, the North West and beyond. Our national and international activities focus on artist exchange. Castlefield Gallery’s public and participation programmes provoke new ways of thinking, bringing together artists, creatives, communities and audiences to explore the art and issues of our time. We believe when artists and communities come together they can help shape a better world.
We support more than 300 Castlefield Gallery Associates and a host
of creatives through person-centred development programmes.
Castlefield Gallery New Art Spaces provide affordable making and
project space in the North West of England, including on the high
street. We are a home for artists and creatives. We are advocates
for what we believe in. We believe in the power of new art. We make
new art happen.
Ryan Gander OBE is Castlefield Gallery’s Artist Patron. We are a
registered charity, supported by Arts Council England and
Manchester City Council.
“Castlefield Gallery is the centre to the periphery, which in my thinking is the best position to work from and where I want to be. Castlefield Gallery oozes with explorers and pioneers, and understands that the currency of a scene is its ability to import and export culture, not sit stagnant in its own melting pot.”Ryan Gander OBE RA, Castlefield Gallery Artist Patron
