Here at 20-21 Visual Arts Centre, we have multiple exhibition spaces showing a range of contemporary art and craft from local, regional, national and international artists.
Current Exhibitions:
20 September to 1 November 2025
Dom Heffer – Delay-a-grams
In a world of instantaneous, 24 hour news, instantaneous communications, fast food, and even faster images, Hull based artist Dom Heffer has produced a new series of paintings that highlight the gallery as a refuge for ‘slow looking’. Each artwork focuses upon our culture’s relationship to vision; via advertising, entertainment, food, gaming and the ways in which we look at nature.
27 September 2025 to 10 January 2026
Clare Hewitt – Everything in the forest is the forest
Responding to a government report suggesting that loneliness and isolation were increasing in rural areas of the UK, acclaimed photographer Clare Hewitt presents new work that celebrates trees and their remarkable ability to nurture and communicate. Setting up a studio within a circle of twelve oak trees, Hewitt documented the forest and its seasonal changes, exploring nature and the forest through a range of sustainable photography techniques.
Future Exhibitions:
15 November 2025 to 10 January 2026
Arc in Movement
