About the Everybody Gallery

The Everybody Gallery showcases the work of a diverse range of artists. We're at the start of our mission to develop an inspiring and enjoyable programme of exhibitions that are representative of and engage the varied communities we work with.

We believe that art is for everyone, and should be accessible to all through an open programme of varied and high quality exhibitions and events.

Housed in a former grade II listed textile mill, The Everybody Gallery is part of Everybody Arts: a non-profit organisation with thriving learning, wellbeing and studio programmes.

The Everybody Gallery takes up the first floor of Everybody Arts’ grade II listed former textile mill on the outskirts of Halifax. An accessible space spanning across 2500 square metres with kitchen and audio visual facilities, our gallery provides ample space to deliver ambitious and engaging exhibitions and events as well as a range of functions, events, talks or workshops.

The Everybody Gallery at Everybody Arts aims to showcase the work of a diverse range of artists. We aim to host an ambitious, inspiring and enjoyable programme of visual arts exhibitions that are representative of and engage the varied communities we work with, through an open programme of high quality exhibitions and events.

Decisions on which artists may exhibit at the gallery are made by our managing directors and approved by the Board of Directors, in line with our purposes.
