Ceri Hand Gallery History
Ceri Hand Gallery was founded in Liverpool by Ceri Hand, in response to the lack of commercial galleries in the city.

The gallery has a special focus on conceptual and performance art, producing and exhibiting major new works on and offsite, including publications, editions and multiples.

Fostering relationships between gallery artists and their work provides a strong peer support for artist’s development and engaging curators and collectors.

The gallery has actively contributed to developing a regional market in the UK through local, national and international activity and a challenging programme of exhibitions and education events.

The gallery and artists receive regular reviews in international critical contexts, including Art Review, Frieze, Art Monthly, The Guardian, The Observer and The Art Newspaper.

Gallery artist’s work is represented in UK and international museum and private collections, e.g. Zabludowicz Collection, Government Art Collection and Arts Council Collection.

Initially trained as an artist, the Gallery Director brings over twenty years of experience in the art world to supporting artists, including having previously acted as Director of Exhibitions, FACT (Liverpool, where she was a contributing curator to Liverpool Biennial in 2004 and 2006), Deputy Director of Grizedale Arts, Cumbria and Director of Make, London.

This experience of commissioning, producing and publishing with a wide range of artists (from Yang Fudong to Walid Raad), alongside finding unique opportunities for artists to engage with wider audiences, drives the ethos of the gallery and provides a vital critical curatorial support for the artists represented.

It also supports the ambitious quality of exhibitions staged by the gallery and level of experience necessary for operating internationally, whilst committing to contributing something unique to the regional and national context.

The gallery currently works with twelve artists and has a special interest in conceptual art and performance, supporting producing and exhibiting artists work on and offsite – from large scale performances to museum shows.
