Hire our Ground Floor Gallery

Lightbox Gallery & Museum presents an ambitious programme of modern and contemporary art across its Floor One and Floor Two Galleries, developed at least two years in advance and delivered to nationally recognised standards. As Surrey’s only Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation, we work with artists and partners across the UK to present high-quality exhibitions.

Alongside this programme, we offer hireable exhibition slots each year in the Ground Floor Gallery.
