Exhibiting Information for Artists

HEART has three galleries, all in brightly lit spaces.  They are all open to the public, whenever HEART is open,  though the Steve Trattles Gallery is in a room that is often booked out for private events, so not always available for viewing.

To enquire about exhibiting in the Corridor and Café galleries, please email [email protected]

Call outs for work for exhibitions in the Steve Trattles Gallery will be through CuratorSpace.  We will advertise these callouts through our newsletters and social media, but you can also subscribe to CuratorSpace to check out current opportunities.  All our exhibiting spaces are well lit and open to the public.  The Steve Trattles Gallery is in our Shire Oak room, which is often used for events and meetings, so sometimes is not open to the public.
