The Gallery shows a wide range of exhibitions from collections on loan from other galleries and museums, works by some of today’s leading artists under the concept of text+work, as well as works by students from the Arts Institute at Bournemouth.

The Gallery is a major resource for contemporary visual art at the Institute and has received regional and national recognition.

text + work is the concept which underpins the exhibition programme of The Gallery at the Arts Institute at Bournemouth. The concept seeks to provide a forum for challenging and productive dialogue between innovative contemporary art, design practice and commentary.
