Directory of Artists and Art Organisations
Would you like the opportunity to be included in the Borough's artists directory? This is a file resource kept within our Headquarters showing examples of North-West based artists and Arts agencies work. The directory can be accessed by Council Departments and local groups and is being developed in response to the growing number of enquiries we receive for information on artists who can facilitate work and projects with community groups. In the future we hope this information will become available as a database or web-page.

The Derby Room at Leigh and the Wigan Library Gallery offer public exhibition opportunities to local artists and groups. Whatever your tastes, you will find something you like in Wigan.
