Galleries and Exhibition opportunities in the Region

New exhibition spaces are opening in Rotherham Town, in the YMCA White Rose Myplace building at St Ann's, at RCAT, and in the Rotherham Open Arts Renaissance building on Corporations St.  Many of these galleries promote the work of local artists, or host open exhibitions.  Artists should contact the Gallery directly if they would like their work featured.
