turntable gallery is located in the heart of Grimsby’s historic fish dock, North East Lincolnshire. Founded and directed by two internationally renowned artists - Dale Wells and Darren Neave (RCA), who met whilst studying at the University of Lincoln. Their aim is to promote contemporary arts and through it, build a stronger, more inclusive community.

In March 2022 we launched turntable gallery on Victoria Street, Grimsby. We hosted many shows and events at this creative space until January 2024. Shows included artists such as Jake Chapman, Jeremy Deller and Chad McCail, to name but a few. Our event programme was busy too, with poetry evenings and a zine festival. We have now moved our gallery/creative space to the Grimsby dock area.

Our Grimsby dock location is kindly being provided by WE1 Heritage.

Our unique space will be used to continue showing contemporary offerings, with the same passion and the same creativity our audience deserve from everything we do. We will continue to work with exciting, upcoming artists and will always champion our town, and its artistic resurrection! As always, our aim has been to build upon our area’s resilient foundations. To reclaim and repair our artistic heritage, and to forge a new, vibrant art scene which nourishes and reifies art of all stripes.

turntable gallery keeps on spinnin'!

Join the boys for a run down of their latest schemes and high jinks! Dale and Darren chat about what to expect from the new year, and the new look turntable gallery. One thing is for certain, it’s going to be a big one!

Ceramixology
Group Show
27 April - 8 June 2024

Launching its new year of exciting shows and must see events, turntable gallery presents to you an artistic appetiser. ‘Ceramixology’ is a crafted cocktail of contemporary artists, drawing together industry stalwarts and bright new talents. This showing of captivating clays and sensual slips illustrates the radical break with traditional forms, which is revitalising this ancient practice. Through the provocation of ready-mades and mass-production, to time based experimentations and playfulness, this slice through the clay-o-sphere bounds between the absurd to the sublime, like a bull in a carefully laid out gallery.

See works by William Cobbing, Rachel Kneebone, Sarah Lucas, Lindsey Mendick and Ai Wei Wei amongst a host of others.

Our first exhibition of 2024 is not to be missed!

Red Sail Poetry Night at turntable gallery
19 August 2023

What an incredible evening! In conjunction with Red Sail, of Grimsby’s first ever poetry, music and art event. It was a bit sweary, a bit punchy, but so very emotional. Our town, our area has such a thriving, creative community, boasting an inspirational wealth of talent, which is often denied a stage, or a place to have their voices heard.

That changed yesterday. As part of the turntable’s and Red Sail’s commitment to the arts, we had the very great pleasure of hosting a broad range of amazing artists.

We would like to thank all of those who made the evening possible, and that includes everyone who attended. We couldn’t do what we do without the love and passion you bring. Please keep on supporting the arts and making sure your voices are heard. Here’s to the next one!
