Frequently Asked Questions

Impressions Gallery is now closed to visitors as we prepare to leave our Centenary Square venue when our lease ends in March 2026.

In April 2026, Impressions will take up residence in the former Bradford Club, an iconic and well-loved historic building in the city centre, while we work towards developing a new permanent home in Bradford, click here to read more.

The gallery bookshop is now closed, but our online shop remains open 7 days a week.

General FAQs

Yes, please see our guidelines here: Guidelines for Unsolicited Proposals.

Bear in mind that we are very pro-active in finding, researching and developing work that will support the charity’s mission and vision. Exhibitions originating from unsolicited proposals are very rare, but we are happy to receive them and each proposal is given careful consideration.

We’re sorry, but we can’t offer individual feedback on demand. There simply aren’t enough hours in the day! However, we do offer regular portfolio reviews and feedback sessions throughout the year. Have a look at our future events and join our mailing list to be the first to find out about new ones regularly added.

To keep the gallery open to all, hire of the gallery space is limited and we consider enquiries on a case by case basis. Please email us with details of your request at hello@impressions-gallery.com
