Gracefield Arts Centre

Description

Welcome to Gracefield, located across two buildings at 28 Edinburgh Road, the Arts Centre first opened its doors in 1951 to celebrate the Festival of Britain when former grand house ‘Gracefield’ was bought and converted by the local community. Since then, a further school building was added (gallery 2) providing more exhibition space, café, craft shop, printmaking studio and activity rooms.

Throughout the year we show contemporary art and craft by local, national and international makers and artists as well as selected shows from our own collection. Exhibitions are always free and there is also a programme of workshops and classes for kids and adults.
