Phase two building works have started to make major improvements to Wolverhampton Art Gallery. Croft Building and Conservation Ltd was last month appointed as the contractor and has now begun the task of creating a large ground floor dining area alongside a new kitchen, and developing the St Peter’s Gardens entrance, helping accessibility.
The historic gallery will remain open during the phase two works and the upstairs café will continue trading until the new downstairs facility is ready to open.
The works will support the Council’s Relighting Our City strategy by protecting a major capital investment project that will enable one of the city’s cultural gems to deliver further jobs and investment in Wolverhampton.
One of the first events the new-look Lichfield Street venue will welcome is the prestigious British Art Show 9 in January 2022.
