Mission Gallery

The gallery hosts contemporary art, painting, installation, photography and craft.

Formerly St Nicholas Church for seamen, Mission Gallery was designed by Benjamin Bucknall and built in 1886.

An arts initiative, it was managed and run by a group of artists and volunteers as part of the Association of Artists and Designers in Wales, linked with Swansea Studios.

Since the dissolution of the Association of Artists and Designers in Wales in 1992, Mission Gallery and Swansea Studios are now separate organisations, with Mission Gallery receiving grant funding from the Arts Council of Wales.

In 2003 Mission Gallery became a revenue client of the Arts Council of Wales, resulting in its first full-time paid member of staff.
