Practice in Place is the culminating activity of Fruit Factory Network, a year-long pilot programme created to support the development of visual artists living and working in Hull.

The programme has been centered around visits to some of the UK’s visual art hubs, museums, galleries, residency programmes and artist-run spaces to showcase leading examples, as well as connecting artists from Hull with arts professionals working across the country.

Practice in Place sees the participants exhibit a varied collection of works at Humber Street Gallery. The artists have produced responses to a multitude of concerns including climate change, displacement and migration, and have done so through a variety of art forms, including painting, photography, film and more.

FAQs

How many tickets can I book?

Due to COVID-19, we've introduced capacity measures for the gallery space. You can book up to six tickets, depending on the amount of space left on your desired time slot. Please ensure you book a ticket for each member of your party.

Your ticket will be emailed to you before your visit.

Following current COVID-19 restrictions, please ensure that you are only booking tickets for and visiting the gallery spaces/café with people you live with or have formed a support bubble with.

How long can I stay in the exhibition?

Our time slots for Practice In Place last 30 minutes and take place every half hour during 11am-3pm Friday to Sunday, and 11am-8pm on Thursday. (Slots cannot be booked in advance for 4:30pm onwards, but can be booked in person on a first come first served basis). This should allow enough time to experience the work, and for us to check over and clean any potential touch points before the next visit.

If you arrive late you will be admitted entry, but you will still need to leave at the stated time on your ticket. This will mean reduced time in the exhibition.

What should I do if I cannot attend/need to cancel?

You can cancel your booking via Eventbrite, alternatively please contact info@humberstreetgallery.co.uk or 01482 323 484 with your booking details.

Do I need to wear a face covering?

In accordance with UK government legislation introduced on 8 August 2020, face coverings are now mandatory in galleries. Therefore we cannot allow access without one, unless you are medically exempt.

What information will you hold about me and how will that information be used?

In compliance with NHS test and trace guidance, we will ask for the following when booking:

• Your name. If you are visiting in a group, then this will only be the name of the "lead member" of the group.
• A contact phone number for you or the "lead member" of your group.
• Your visit date/time slot.

All names and telephone numbers will be deleted after 21 days.

Note for visitors who require a companion:

Please book a ticket for your companion - this helps us monitor capacity and keep an accurate record of our visitors for NHS test and trace.
