The gallery is situated in the Piece Hall, an historic Cloth Hall built in 1770. The space is constructed from a series of original units, creating an intimate, yet warm and inviting succession of inter-linking gallery spaces.
It holds up to 8 temporary exhibitions each year, including art, craft, photography and design.
A new emphasis has been placed on crafts, following a successful 'Arts For Everyone' grant from the Lottery Fund to develop the crafts in Calderdale. They may be touring shows, selected from exhibition proposals from individual artists or curated in-house using either selected artists or work from Calderdale Museums and Arts reserve collections. There is also a changing programme of contemporary craft for sale.
