Castlefield Gallery
Established by artists in 1984, Castlefield Gallery is the first public contemporary visual art gallery to have opened in Manchester.
As a registered charity, our mission drives our work to focus on artistic and career development for artists, as well as deepening audiences’ relationship to contemporary art. Over the last three decades we have become an integral part of the North of England’s cultural fabric and a vital support to artists across the Northwest and further afield.
Castlefield Gallery delivers a programme of exhibitions, projects and events from our main gallery in central Manchester, whilst also commissioning, curating and producing off-site and public art, national and international artist residencies, and exchange programmes.
Castlefield Gallery Associates is a 200+ strong artist, curator and writer membership group who access artistic, skills and career development opportunities via our work, as well as New Art Spaces – pop-up, art and production spaces located across Greater Manchester.
The gallery's opening hours during exhibition are Wed- Sun 12noon-5:30pm (free entry).
The gallery is closed during exhibition changeover, please visit our website for current exhibition and event information.
