What’s on
Here are our current projects taking place in Humber Street Gallery and beyond, across our three strands; Arts Programming, Community Engagement & Learning and Artist Development.
20 June - 21 September
Bananarchy!
As far back as the 16th Century there has been a market located at Hull’s marina, but it was throughout the 19th and 20th centuries that Humber Street rose to prominence as the third largest market in the UK importing fruit from all over the world.
Join us at Humber Street Gallery this summer as we explore this rich history in Bananarchy!, an interactive exhibition created by artist Pippa Hale. Taking place across two floors, audiences of all ages are invited to un-peel the history of Hull’s historic Fruit Market in an exhibition which prioritises sociality and play.
30 July, 24 September, 26 November, 28 January, 25 March,
Cultural Conversations
Every other month, Humber Street Gallery teams up with GF Smith to host Cultural Conversations, an evening designed to bring Hull’s creative scene together under one roof. These after-hours events are all about connection, inspiration, and celebrating the city’s buzzing arts and culture community and the creative industries.
