Hartlepool Art Gallery is an art gallery in Hartlepool, County Durham, England.[2]

The gallery opened in 1996. It is located in Church Square within Christ Church,[1] a restored Victorian church, built in 1854 and designed by the architect Edward Buckton Lamb (1806–1869).[3] The building has a 100-foot tower with six bells, which can still be rung.[4][5]

Hartlepool Art Gallery is co-located with a tourist information centre close to Hartlepool railway station and the town centre. The temporary exhibition programme includes crafts, contemporary and fine art, and photography. There is also a permanent collection. The gallery is run by Hartlepool Borough Council.
