Castlefield Gallery is a major resource for contemporary visual
artists and their work. Founded by Manchester’s Artists
Studio Association (MASA) in 1984, and recently re-located to
new premises which were designed by Manchester-based architects
ARCA in April 2002. This was made possible by an Arts Council
England Lottery Award, plus generous support from Crosby Homes
North West Ltd, Linn Products and Arts Council England North
West. The Gallery supports emerging and newly established artists
in the North West, throughout the UK and the rest of the world.
It boasts 6 main exhibitions per year and additional ‘Project
Space’ exhibitions dedicated to emerging artists from the
North West. There is also an ongoing programme of live performance,
music and screening events aimed at encouraging awareness and
enjoyment of a wider range of contemporary art practice. Groups
and educational parties are welcomed and guided tours are possible
- please contact in advance to discuss your specific requirements.
There are disabled access and toilet facilities, and induction
loop and sign language facilities are available.

Gallery
Oldham is the new Art gallery and museum for Oldham set in a
unique and bold landmark building which cost £9 million to build
and forms the first phase of a new Cultural Quarter for the
town of Oldham.
The Collections Gallery is one of the largest and most varied
in the northwest of England, consisting of thousands of items
of fine and decorative art, photography, natural and social
history, geology and archaeology. Gallery Oldham forms the first
phase of a dynamic and ambitious new Cultural Quarter for Oldham.
Education and cultural diversity lie at the centre of Gallery
Oldham's work and its regular programme of events includes activities,
workshops and talks for people of all ages on a wide range of
subjects. Exhibitions feature Oldham's unique collections of
art, social and natural history alongside touring work, newly
commissioned and contemporary art, international art and work
produced with local communities. The new gallery building has
brought about an integration of the once separate museum and
gallery services and the gallery is involved in a whole range
of projects looking at local history and wildlife in and around
Oldham. The gallery is open Monday to Saturday 10.00am to 5.00pm
