Contains Art Art space

Contains Art is an exciting arts venue on Watchet's quayside providing artists' studios, a space for exhibitions and events and a networking centre for West Somerset's creative industries.

Contains Art launched on 6th July 2013, following months of planning and a final five weeks of hard work, by a largely volunteer workforce, to convert the three shipping containers into a smart gallery space and four bright, comfortable working studios. Contains Art is managed as a not-for-profit enterprise by Contains Art CIC.

Contains Art is a place for creative people to work, learn and meet informally. There are a range of opportunities for practitioners to exhibit and sell work and to develop professionally. The project is now entering its fourth season of exhibitions and events and an exciting programme is lining up for 2016.

To find out more visit our website and sign up to receive newsletters (email), come to Creatives Club (last Thursday of every month, Esplanade Club, Watchet, 6pm) or follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
