Hartlepool Art Gallery is at the heart of the cultural life of Hartlepool. With exhibitions of international, national and regional artists and a programme of events and learning throughout the year, the Gallery is a welcome home for inspiration and learning.

This stunning and beautifully restored Grade II* Victorian church sits within the cultural quarter of the town. Just a three-minute walk from Hartlepool Railway Station and close to some of Hartlepool’s stand-out attractions, including the Museum of Hartlepool and Hartlepool Town Hall Theatre, the Gallery is ideally located in the heart of the town.

The ambitious and creatively diverse exhibition programme seeks to inspire future artists and challenge and delight visitors. A changing programme of in-house curated exhibitions and displays that showcase local artists and nationally significant art means there is always something new to discover.

Visit the Gallery’s gift shop and discover its stunning range of locally-crafted gifts. From books, art and home furnishings to greeting cards and handcrafted gifts and jewellery, all handmade by local artists, grab some quirky memorabilia to commemorate your experience.

Tucked away inside the Art Gallery, you will also find the charming Vestry Café, which is run by the students of Catcote Academy as part of their education. Here, you can relax, admire the art, and enjoy a range of light meals, tasty treats, snacks, and hot drinks.
