Founded by Christian Mooney in 2007, Arcade supports ambitious artistic practice through exhibitions, artwork sales, commissions and long-term collaborations, connecting artists with collectors, curators, institutions and wider audiences.

We believe commercial success and cultural value can reinforce one another. Since becoming a Community Interest Company in 2021, Arcade has developed a mixed economy of artwork sales, hospitality, partnerships, patronage and public funding, creating greater opportunities for artists and broadening participation in contemporary art.

Our new home, opened in 2025, places a kitchen at the heart of the gallery. Exhibitions sit alongside food, performance, conversation and community-led projects, bringing artists, collectors, neighbours and collaborators together to explore what art and collective experience can make possible.

Artist-driven. Beyond profit.
