exhibition, cinema, performance

The University of Abertay’s Hannah Maclure Centre works with contemporary and interdisciplinary cultural producers and artists from the UK and abroad, as well as supporting teaching activity and developing opportunities with staff and students.

The Centre is uniquely placed as a cultural facilitator, working in conjunction with a range of University divisions and research projects along side developing partnerships with external institutions. It houses a multi functional art gallery, a 72 seat cinema and a cafe bar.

Located on the top floor of the new Abertay Student Centre this informal space provides its visitors with a chance to engage and interact with exhibitions showcasing a diverse range of visual outputs.

Designed to enhance and work with the university’s cultural strategy the centre delivers around 5 major exhibitions each year, combined with other research projects, talks, events, seminars and film programme across campus.

Projects are scheduled around a year in advance, concentrating on artists based in Scotland and internationally. Primarily artists and curators are invited to develop projects with the Centre and this selection is developed by the University’s Cultural Projects Officer in consultation with a highly active Cultural Development Team.

The University has a commitment to the dissemination of its culture, intent on realising large scale projects and continuing research. Being a window into these activities, the Hannah Maclure Centre endeavours to bring in new work by influential and acclaimed artists whilst also being a champion of exceptional, less exposed artists.

Please note that the majority of the programme develops from direct invitations to artists and curators. However we are happy to be made aware of artists’ practices, from all medias. Please send an up-to-date CV, artist statement and up to six slides, or show reel.
