The Long Gallery is a visual arts space at the Hat Factory Arts Centre, created to support artists at different stages of their practice and to grow opportunities for exhibiting and commissioning work in Luton. It hosts a changing programme of exhibitions, open calls, and curated projects across photography, illustration, installation and other visual disciplines, with an emphasis on accessibility, experimentation and community engagement. The gallery provides a platform for both emerging and established artists, while connecting local practice to wider conversations and audiences through talks, events and partnerships.
