Expanding horizons through art and culture, enriching our community
A vibrant hub for visual art and cultural engagement

Established in 1989 and formally opened in 1990, this contemporary art space has become a thriving hub for visual arts and a beloved landmark in the community.
A rich history enriching the community
Throughout its journey, Warwick Art Gallery has undergone strategic expansions to foster a dynamic and inclusive environment. In 2012, an extension project added vital workshop and storage facilities, while the subsequent expansion in 2017 transformed the adjacent Visitor Information Centre into the Orange Wall Gallery, offering an additional exhibition space and a dedicated shop.
