Managed by the Maltings (Berwick) Trust, the gallery commissions and exhibits regional and national artists, including work produced via a visual artist in residence programme.

With a focus on sculpture, moving image work and installation, the gallery has previously exhibited work by artists of international standing including Douglas Gordon, Bethan Huws, Juneau Projects, S Mark Gubb, Hardeep Phandal, Tania Kovats and Suki Chan.

The gallery is sited in a former military gymnasium connected to Berwick Barracks, the first purpose-built military barracks in Britain, designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor.
