Beam - Gallery

About

Contemporary Art Gallery, Café and Bookshop. Open Thursday-Saturday 9am-5pm. Entry is free! Beam is an independent visual arts space located a 10 minute walk or 5 minute bus journey from Nottingham city centre. Our space brings together a gallery, bookshop and café serving speciality coffee and teas in a large Victorian school building which is part of a studio and gallery complex called Primary. We are attached to Small Food Bakery who offer a selection of biodynamic, sustainable and organic baked goods and produce to be enjoyed all throughout the café and gallery space along with your beverages. Presenting institutional quality exhibitions on a small scale in a relaxed atmosphere, we show a roster of artists linked to our international publishing programme and exceptional artists from the region. We work with artists who exercise a high level of craft in their work, artists of historic significance and artists that address in some way the major issues of our time.
