Gallery Space

Please visit the ‘What’s On’ page for opening hours, and the ‘Visiting Us’ page for further information on accessing the space.

Please note that membership is mandatory for hiring the gallery space. We advertise an Open Call bi-annually through our Instagram (@saltspacecoop) in Spring and Autumn.

However, we do sometimes have available slots (see calendar) and cancellations, so if you're interested in exhibiting with us in the coming months then we'd encourage you to drop us a message at saltspacecoop@gmail.com and we can let you know what we have available.

What we offer

  • SaltSpace Cooperative facilitates a gallery space for members to use and gain experience.

  • SaltSpace will support you with marketing and promotion of your exhibition.

  • For workshops and events we have two 4ft tables and six chairs available. If anything further is required it would be the responsibility of the hirer to provide it.

  • Within the gallery we have a kitchen and bathroom.

  • We have a small amount of equipment including a media player, TV monitor and a storage of install tools.

  • ​We do not charge commission on any gallery sales or workshop event tickets, all artists profits are their own.

As a small committee we cannot offer curatorial support since we are not a large operational company or gallery but a non-profit. However, the core ideas behind SaltSpace is for emerging artists to gain a valuable learning experience.

When renting the space it is the responsibility of members to install, organise the opening night and invigilate the run of the exhibition. ​​

Pricing

​​​The gallery can be hired for £35 per day on weekdays and £50 per day on weekends (Saturday/Sunday).

Workshop/event hire has a minimum of one day hire, exhibitions have a minimum of 3 day hire (including install/deinstall days).

Longer hires are at a discounted rate - after a full price 7 days, each additional day will be reduced to £25.

This fee is donated straight back into the Co-operative to aid in its continual operation and to pay for any overhead costs. Plus, a refundable deposit of £50 given the space is returned to an adequate enough condition after your show.
