The final step of the redevelopment of the Athenaeum building – home also to Abject Gallery – has been to create much needed exhibition space for local artists and creatives. Alongside artists’ studios, Pilgrim Studios also contains a ground floor workshop/education space that is available for hire, with daily rates from £100: please see website for more information.

For more information regarding Abject Gallery at Sunderland please email info@abject.gallery.

Please note that the first floor gallery and studios are not wheelchair accessible.

Studios are accessible by appointment only with individual studio holders.
