Milkwood will be closed for the whole of September due to building work which will include dehumidifier installation, new heating for the building and modern air conditioning. It will reopen in October with a new café, gallery and project/workshop space on Lochaber Street. We will be reopening during the MadeinRoath festival which is happening this year from October 17th – 24th. To find out more about how to submit work for the affordable art wall which will be a permanent exhibition in the gallery, you can do so here.

Milkwood is an artist run venue which was set up for people to come and share ideas, learn new skills, participate in arts related events and enjoy community related activities. With a reputation as a valued meeting place for artists and artforms, milkwood has firmly established itself as a platform and community hub for artists and art lovers. Milkwood receives no public funding, and survives on the enterprising initiative of artists, friends and volunteers plus a huge amount of goodwill. Some of our past exhibitions below:

Milkfloat was originally a metaphor for the process of taking art out of the gallery and into a wider arena, but now also exists as a physical space in the form of a renovated 1960’s caravan which is made available to all participating artists as a mobile studio/exhibiting/meeting &/or living space.
The project is committed to bringing audiences and art together both within and also outside the context of a fixed gallery space. Milkfloat aims to attract new, diverse audiences, to widen and deepen participation and engagement with the visual arts, and to encourage innovative contemporary art practice and stimulate critical debate.
