Gallery Hire

'It was a very good experience for me. It is a lovely space you have. Everybody I met at The Herbert was very helpful, kind and accomodating.
There aren’t that many places to showcase/hire out a space in the local area (...) overall the space and gallery/museum are amazing.'
Craig Munro | Energy
'Hiring the gallery space at HAGM provided a rare and rewarding opportunity to connect in-person with visitors to my exhibition throughout its duration. The insights that I gained from their engagement and responses were invaluable and have opened many new directions for me to explore in my art practice since that time.'
Prashant Kansara
The Herbert Art Gallery & Museum is excited to offer a fantastic opportunity for independent artists and art groups to exhibit their work in our gallery spaces. We’re offering affordable exhibition spaces to support local creatives and highlight the quality of art being produced in Coventry.
You have the option to hire one, or both, of our dedicated exhibition spaces for a minimum of two weeks.
*Please note that the two galleries will remain separate, however they can be accessed via a door between the spaces*
