Welcome
Central Art Gallery is a real gem. Located above the library on Old Street in Ashton-under-Lyne, these beautiful gallery spaces host a varied programme of temporary exhibitions. There is something to suit everyone's taste with group and solo shows of artists from the region including paintings, sculpture, installation and textiles.
Central Art Gallery is also a great place to relax and take a break from the world. With lots of comfortable seating and relaxing music this is the perfect place to have a moment to yourself or a chat with a friend. Central Art Gallery runs a programme of adult art courses, a new knit and natter knitting group and special events, for more information please contact us below or see our events calendar.
We welcome noise and mess in our galleries and this is a family friendly space. Drop by during the school holidays and make something to take home at our craft table or join in with one of our family art workshops, every Wednesday in the school holidays from 10.30am -12 noon.
