About Glynn Vivian Art Gallery

The Gallery is a vibrant and inspiring free art space for everyone and provides a place for historical, modern and contemporary art exhibitions, talks, activities, live music, performance and events in the heart of Swansea’s bustling artistic quarter.

The Gallery (founded in 1911) has a significant Collection, covering a broad spectrum of the visuals arts from old masters to contemporary artists, with an international collection of porcelain and Swansea china.

Our artistic programme includes exhibitions, collaborations and socially engaged projects. We support emerging and established local artists as well as bringing some of the world’s leading artists to Wales – presenting major exhibitions and commissioning exceptional site specific and socially engaged work.

We have a wonderful collection of artworks and ceramics, as well as works on paper, which form an important part of the city’s “cultural memory”. We display many of these works in our permanent collection but also encourage artists, curators and members of the public to curate exhibitions.

Glynn Vivian’s belief is that ‘Art Can Change Your Life’, and inspired by our Exhibitions and Collections, our gallery is full of opportunities to learn, discover, make and have fun.

Led by our award winning Learning team and artists, you can join in our activities and workshops including painting, drawing, animation, sewing, printing and more! We also offer seasonal and school holiday fun and family films. You can pick up a free activity trail to guide you around the galleries, or why not try one of our self-led family activities during your visit.

We run weekly accessible classes for everyone including children and young people, families and adults. See our programme of talks with artists, writers and curators, inspired by our Exhibitions and Collections displays.

Glynn Vivian Art Gallery is part of the City and County of Swansea and is supported by the Arts Council of Wales. Glynn Vivian is a partner of Tate, and exchanges programmes, ideas and skills with the Plus Tate network of visual arts organisations across the UK.

Everybody is very welcome and most of our activities are free. See our website for a full programme of what’s on this season.
