Spacex Gallery

Founded in 1974 the Spacex Gallery is housed in a 19th-century warehouse building located near Quayside, Exeter. It is a publically funded organisation for contemporary art and artists and in 1990 became a registered educational charity. Spacex exhibits work by up-and-coming artists as well as those who are internationally celebrated. Artists who have shown there include founder John Butler, Angus Fairhurst, Geoffrey Ridgen and Paul Rosenbloom. Artists of international repute who have been seen at Spacex include Sol Lewitt, Bridget Riley, Gillian Wearing and artist and political activist Gustav Metzger. Sadly the Gallery ceased activity at the end of 2017.
