How we verify

Sources

Listings start from open data (OpenStreetMap, Wikidata and the artist-run centre associations), then each fact is checked against the gallery's own website. Every page lists its sources.

Dates

Each listing shows when its facts were last verified. Listings we have not checked yet say so, and we never fill a gap with a guess: a missing fact reads “Not listed”.

Corrections

Galleries change hours, addresses and policies. If something here is out of date, tell us and we will fix it.
