Both Gallery One and Artspace host regularly changing programmes of art exhibitions curated in-house as well as National Touring Exhibitions from the Hayward Gallery.
The Box Gallery, situated within the Craft Gallery, has a programme of themed exhibitions featuring the best in craft with nationally and internationally known makers whilst the Craft Gallery houses a continually changing exhibition of quality craftwork from over 80 regionally and nationally acclaimed makers providing small gifts and collectors items, including glassware, ceramics, textiles, sculpture, prints, an extensive collection of contemporary jewellery and cards.
There is also a Heritage Display which pays tribute, not only to the former Ropery but also the other industries of the Waterside area of the town.
In addition, there are a Coffee Shop, open daily, 12 artists studios, a regular programme of recreational art and craft workshops for adults and children and a live entertainment venue, Ropery Hall.
