Join us to shape the future of Hereford Museum & Art Gallery.

What should Herefordshire’s new museum and gallery say about creativity today?

This session brings together artists, makers, and cultural professionals to explore how the museum’s exhibitions and Spotlight Gallery might reflect local creative practice. We’re here to listen - what kind of work should we be showcasing, and what voices do we need to hear? Your thoughts will help shape our thinking as we reimagine the museum.

What to expect:

  • An introduction to the new direction for the museum's exhibiton programme
  • Discussion on opportunities for collaboration, programming and co-creation
  • A chance to meet peers across Herefordshire’s creative ecology
  • Opportunities to help shape future plans for exhibitions, commissions, and events
