The Everybody
Gallery
Halifax’s best kept secret
The Everybody Gallery is a vibrant space dedicated to showcasing a diverse range of artists and their work. We’re just beginning our journey to build an inspiring, inclusive programme of exhibitions that reflect the many communities we serve. We believe art should be for everyone. Our accessible gallery hosts a dynamic mix of high-quality exhibitions and events, designed to engage and inspire all who visit.
Housed in a beautifully restored Grade II listed textile mill on the outskirts of Halifax, The Everybody Gallery is a large and flexible space that is the perfect setting for exhibitions, events, talks, and workshops. Come and experience the creativity that thrives here! Please click through to the description for each exhibition or event to find out more information and check our opening times.
