Welcome to ArtVaults Season Four
Southampton’s medieval vaults are once again host to an exciting mix of contemporary art by emerging and established artists. ArtVaults presents a unique opportunity to discover Southampton’s hidden spaces and experience contemporary art in historic settings. From sculptural works to light and video installations, the artists have made inventive use of these unique locations, and inspired connections with the vaults’ history and architecture. There's something for everyone, and we look forward to welcoming you.
