Artlink Hull | 87 Gallery 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.

We’re based at our beautiful 87 Gallery in the heart of HU5 in Hull: a hyper local visual art gallery with a national outlook, rooted in the communities we serve, developing world-class talent.

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 people of all ages and backgrounds 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 confidence and skills using our co-creation model. Much of our work takes place in community venues such as libraries, care settings and youth centres across the city, as well as our home at 87 Gallery in the heart of HU5 on Princes Avenue in Hull.

Our 87 Gallery visual art exhibition programme prioritises commissioning early career artists from under-represented backgrounds, 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, outreach and learning programmes and celebrate the artists who participate in these strands of our work.
