John Hansard Gallery is an internationally recognised and locally engaged contemporary art gallery in Southampton. Being part of the University of Southampton, John Hansard Gallery aims to change the world for the better through great art. To realise this, the Gallery creates innovative and critically acclaimed contemporary art exhibitions, events, engagement and research projects that excite, challenge, represent and reach the widest possible public audience.
Since being established in 1979 the Gallery has been located on the University’s Highfield Campus. In 2018, the Gallery relocated to the new purpose-built arts complex Studio 144 in Southampton’s city centre, significantly increasing the space available for exhibitions, events and integrated programming. Learning and engagement are at the heart of the Gallery and underpin all its activities. The innovative education and public programme is accompanied by special community-focused projects, including activities for all ages and levels of experience. John Hansard Gallery is supported using public funding as a National Portfolio Organisation by Arts Council England.
John Hansard Gallery actively supports the scholarship and publication of critical writing and has published over ninety exhibition catalogues, which are available to buy from our Gallery Shop. We regularly commission new writing as part of our ongoing publishing activities with artists.
