The Gallery at The North Wall serves a dual purpose, both as an art gallery with regularly changing exhibitions throughout the year, and as a foyer for the theatre. There are three main walls of varying dimensions, plus two smaller areas around a central stairwell – all dimensions can be found on the floorplan, downloadable below. All downstairs walls are made of white-painted MDF, suitable for a wide variety of hanging methods. Smaller-scale or more intimate work is also occasionally programmed into the upstairs foyer, with certain restrictions owing to décor.
Opening hours: Mon – Fri: 10am-4pm, Sat: 12pm-4pm
Closed: Sun and Bank Holidays
Applying For An Exhibition
Most exhibitions at The North Wall last three weeks. The gallery is programmed by Nicky Laird, Gallery Manager. There is a hire charge to exhibit in the gallery, further details of which are discussed upon application. All exhibitions are subject to a selection process, and are programmed in line with our aim in the gallery – to promote visual contemporary artists living in Oxfordshire.
