Introduction
Site Gallery’s exhibition programme maintains a commitment to show both national and international work, maintaining a balance between photography, installation, electronic media and film & video. Our programme has gained significant recognition as a leader in the field of commissioning work, premiering new work or artists who have never exhibited in the UK.
Site’s exhibitions policy is based on presenting innovative, challenging and creative work addressing contemporary debates and issues within a national and international context. The gallery offers a site for engagement between the artist and the public and a national focus for critical debate surrounding the creative use of the still and moving image.

As well as gallery-based exhibitions Site regularly commissions work for the gallery’s projection window and realises ambitious off-site & online projects. Site also acts as host for a number of international artists’ residencies and also supports the dynamic field of live art.
These activities are contextualised by a programme of talks, events and education projects and internationally distributed publications aimed at developing a critical discourse around contemporary art practice.
Talks & Events
Site contextualises its projects with a broad range of events aimed at offering opportunities and catalysts for discussion and debate around contemporary art practice. From informal gallery tours to artists’ talks and conferences, Site offers a regular programme of events to promote engagement with contemporary art.
Patrons: Jarvis Cocker, Paul Hill MBE, Marina Warner & Ian Anderson.
