Artlink Hull is a community arts charity dedicated to bringing the creative arts to everyone, especially people who haven't had the chance to get involved before.  

Since 1982 we have led creative workshops, learning programmes and events that are inclusive and reduce barriers to entry.  

We work with strategic partners to enable children, people of all ages, disabled artists, and people with marginalised origins to engage in high quality arts and cultural experiences. 

We treat everyone as an artist, whatever their background or experience and we work hard to build the confidence and skills using our co-creation model.

Much of our work takes place in community venues, libraries, care settings and youth centres across the city as well as our home at 87 Gallery. 

Our 87 Gallery exhibition programme prioritises commissioning early career artists, encouraging experimentation in the production of ambitious new work. We achieve a balance between supporting artists based in Hull and East Yorkshire and those from other locations around the UK, to nurture a healthy arts ecology in our city. 

In 2024 we launched Our Community Gallery, a flexible, creative space in which we platform the outcomes of our community engagement and learning programmes and celebrate the artists that participate in these programmes.  

We are based at 87 Gallery on Princes Avenue in Hull.
