Please join us to celebrate the launch of the new ‘Hire Space’ here at Wolverhampton Art Gallery.

Converted from the previous shop premises located near the Lichfield Street entrance to the Art Gallery, the ‘Hire Space’ will be starting its programme with a photographic project Photo ID: Young People from Wolverhampton, an education and outreach project displaying artwork created by young people as a result of workshops led by Michelle Sank.

The ‘Hire Space’ will provide platform to showcase art by artists who were born, work or study in the West Midlands. Annually the Hire Space will provide seven exhibition slots for artists to hire and three slots for use by Wolverhampton Arts + Museums Education and Outreach teams, costing only £195 to hire for 4-weeks, the application process is open to all on a first come first serve basis.

Photo ID: Young People from Wolverhampton will be on show until Saturday 25 April 2009, and is opened in conjunction with the launch of the exhibition Interface by Michelle Sank, which is on display until Saturday 2 May 2009.

Enquires regarding the ‘Hire Space’ can be made to laura.marsh at wolverhampton.gov.uk or to 01902 552055.
