Gallery Specifications

Site has two gallery spaces which are used for changing exhibitions of contemporary visual art. The gallery spaces are flexible and allow work to be shown in natural light, under various different artificial lighting conditions or blacked out.

Exhibitions Policy

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 work. The gallery originates all exhibitions through internal or external curation and aims to offer commissions from the i-lab (the gallery's in-house production facilities and staff) if appropriate. The policy is to show innovative, challenging and creative work of international standard as well as emergent talent. A balance is sought between one person shows of high profile artists, group shows bringing together established artists and artists at the beginning of their career and exhibitions addressing contemporary debates and issues. There is also a commitment to support the dynamic field of live art by means of a regular festival. The gallery also aims to support artists at the beginning of their careers by means of an exhibition & commissioning scheme for emergent artists working in the north of England. All exhibitions are free to enter and are contextualised with educational and/or practical events.

Please note that Site Gallery is not accepting unsolicited proposals from artists currently. However, please join our mailing list to be the first to hear about submissions for the next Site Platform in 2010.
