Relocation
Open Eye Gallery is planning an ambitious move to larger premises on the Liverpool waterfront - the new space will be launched in autumn 2010. In preparation, we've reduced the staff team and focused our resources on managing the capital project, fundraising and organisational development. In the meantime we continue to present occasional exhibitions and events in our Wood Street premises.
Architects RCKa are working on the new space for Open Eye Gallery, which fits within the larger Mann Island development, a mixed-use scheme by developers Countryside/Neptune consisting of three new blocks between the Port of Liverpool building (by the Pierhead) and the Albert Dock.
At 400m², the Gallery's new premises will be more than twice the size of the current Wood Street space. A mezzanine level of about 125m² (mainly office space) will sit above around 150m² of exhibition space. Construction and fit-out of the new space begins in spring 2010.
Throughout 2010 we will continue to present occasional events at our Wood Street premises. Read more >
