Inch Arts is an Independent Charity promoting Arts in Altrincham, managed and run on a voluntary basis by its artist members with the help of a team of community volunteers. It does not currently receive funding but raises income through commission on sales, room hire and donations. The gallery is normally open to the public every day except Monday. Opening times can vary according to staffing levels. 

The gallery has occupied its current premises since 2019.  The areas used by the gallery have been refurbished by the resident artists and gallery volunteers to create excellent multi-purpose spaces, making the most of the many original features. 

Space on the ground floor can be hired by artists working in most media and the gallery aims to host a guest exhibition every month except November/December. 

There is wheelchair access to the building.

Your proposal will be discussed by the Resident Artists at their fortnightly meetings.
