HIRING THE ART GALLERY

Hire of The Compton Gallery is essentially ‘dry hire’, meaning we provide you with the space and infrastructure to mount your own show. We are a flexible gallery, so we are also happy to discuss working collaboratively if we both felt this would benefit the exhibition.  

We are always happy to support our artists, whether that is helping hang, recommending or organising caterers or providing car park attendants. We welcome the chance to discuss all your requirements and between us come up with a memorable and inspiring exhibition.
