Not everyone grows up believing that art is for them. Artlink Hull | 87 Gallery exists to change that.

Through our free-to-access, professional gallery and programme of workshops and community-led activity, we create meaningful creative opportunities for people who haven't always had access to them — particularly children, young people and adults from under-represented backgrounds. We help people build confidence, develop skills, and find a sense of belonging through creativity and community.

We champion emerging artists and connect local audiences with world-class talent — creating a vibrant creative ecosystem in Hull where individuals can flourish, and communities can reimagine what's possible.

Through our 87 Gallery exhibition programme, we're building a reputation as a socially engaged professional gallery that draws artists from across the UK and beyond, strengthening Hull's arts ecology and the city’s reputation as a centre for arts and culture.
