Annual Closures

Firstsite is closed on 25 & 26  December and 1 January.

Exhibition changeovers

Firstsite offers a vibrant programme of changing exhibitions. This does mean that at times a gallery space may be closed as a new exhibition is in the process of being installed. However, the programme is planned to ensure closure of a space is kept to a minimum and that there is always an exhibition open to the public.
