A vital element of the strategy¡¯s success is the John Hansard Gallery now relocated to a new purpose-built space in Ìì·¢ÓéÀÖÆåÅÆ_Ìì·¢ÓéÀÖAPP-¹ÙÍø|ÏÂÔØ¡¯s Cultural Quarter. In May 2018, Sir Nicholas Serota, Chair of Arts Council England, officially launched our reopening exhibition by Gerhard Richter, one of the world¡¯s most celebrated living artists. With additional support from University of Ìì·¢ÓéÀÖÆåÅÆ_Ìì·¢ÓéÀÖAPP-¹ÙÍø|ÏÂÔØ and Arts Council England, the Gallery has unveiled its new public-facing approach, actively connecting with audiences through learning, interaction and participation.

Throughout 2018-2019 the Gallery is working with artist collective Stair/Slide/Space to playfully engage with audiences alongside all the incredible exhibitions during our reopening year. We are also creating ¡®Your Voices¡¯, a community panel to ensure that our audiences¡¯ voices are heard and present within all our activities. And JHG Beacons and Ambassadors schemes will create professional opportunities for young people to explore working in the arts.
