Hartlepool Art Gallery

Housed within a beautifully restored Victorian church designed by architect Edward Buckton Lamb in 1854, the gallery offers a unique blend of history and contemporary art. Reopened in 1996, the Grade II listed building sits in the heart of Hartlepool's cultural quarter, and a short walk from the train station.

Diverse program

The gallery boasts a frequently changing exhibition program, ranging from contemporary works and touring displays to pieces from the permanent collection established by Sir William Cresswell Gray in 1920. Art enthusiasts can expect to encounter a variety of mediums, including paintings, sculptures, photography, and crafts.

Beyond the exhibitions

The venue regularly hosts a program of events and workshops, providing opportunities to learn new skills or delve deeper into artistic movements. There is also the Vestry Cafe for refreshments and the shop offers unique items by local artists and crafters.
