VISITING 87 GALLERY

87 Princes Avenue, Hull, HU5 3QP

87 Gallery is open to the public on Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10:00 AM - 4:30 PM

We are a safe and inclusive space. Feel free to come wander and browse the art. We are dedicated to making our spaces accessible to everyone.

When you come to 87 Gallery we are really happy that you made the visit.

If you feel shy or anxious, please take your time. If you want help or support, please ask. All staff are welcoming and non-judgemental. Feel free to ask us any questions; no questions are silly.

If you’re not quite sure what to do, just have a wander around, upstairs and downstairs, and know that your presence is welcomed. You can even call beforehand if you have any worries about your visit.

We have two floors.

  • On the ground floor:

    • This is the main exhibition area and where we have a small shop

    • This is also where our front desk is. A member of staff will be here and happy to help, or answer questions

    • We also have a fully accessible toilet, a staircase to the upper studio space, and a lift

    • We have our Large Print and Audio Guides here too

    • There are some benches for you to enjoy the exhibition space

    • We have a donation point near the front door and anything you can offer will be gratefully received

  • On the second floor:

    • Our exhibition continues upstairs

    • This is also a studio space for when we hold workshops

    • There are sofas, chairs and bean bags for you to enjoy. You can read, drink, and chill out here- if you ask for paper, we will provide it so you can use the space to feel inspired and draw or write

    • There is normally a video playing with information about the current exhibition

    • We also have a small library with books specially selected from Hull Libraries relating to the exhibition. Please read these if you want to

    • There are glass doors to a balcony

    • We have a fully accessible toilet on this floor too

    • Our Artlink Offices are here where there will be other members of staff onsite to help you if you need it

Around the gallery you will also find surveys where we’re asking for your feedback about your visit. Please feel free to complete one of these and leave them at the front desk.

You are welcome to breastfeed here. Please let a member of staff know if there is anything we can do to help make you more comfortable.

In order to offer a safe environment for those who are still continuing to wear face coverings we will be introducing daily masked hours. In addition, we will be monitoring the number of people in the building; from Thursday 9th February 2023 we will be advising all visitors to the gallery or shop to wear a face covering between 3pm – 4:30pm.

We run events throughout the year which will be assessed separately on a case-by-case basis so please check our social and website for access requirements for an event you may attend. We will strive continue to adapt and learn from our partners, peers and the public to become truly accessible.

If you have any access requirements, questions or suggestions that may help in our effort please contact info@artlinkhull.co.uk. We would appreciate any feedback you have.
