198 Contemporary Arts And Learning

198 Contemporary Arts and Learning is a centre for visual arts, education and creative enterprise.

Our artistic programme provides a platform for participation, exchange and dialogue for artists, our partners and diverse audiences. Our exhibitions and artist led projects provide a framework for events which bring together individuals and organisations inside and outside of the arts to engage in debate and creative practice. Our work is particularly focused on issues of social inclusion and diversity and seeks to engage with global issues while being rooted in the history of our locality.

We aim to develop projects which provide opportunities for young people to engage with the visual arts and gain experience in the creative and cultural industries through links with our creative learning programme and by offering apprenticeships, volunteering and work experience.
