Open Monday - Friday 9am - 5pm, closed  Saturday and Sunday. Admission is free.

The centre is opposite Wigan & Leigh College . There is a small car park behind the centre next to the playing fields. Approximately 5 minutes walk from the bus station and The Galleries shopping centre which provides 
ample parking.

The centre is funded by Wigan Metropolitan Borough Education Department and provides an arts resource to schools in the borough and beyond. Work by one of the three artists in residence is usually on display 
as well as by other established artists, often with local roots or connections. Exhibitions tend to favour sculpture and textile work.

The artists in residence are very happy for you to look around their studios and to talk to them or watch them work. A very friendly atmosphere.
