It curated exhibitions by prominent international artists including; Yoko Ono, Gilbert & George, Victor Sloan, Bill Viola, Hans Peter Kuhn, Stan Douglas, David Byrne, Willie Doherty and Alastair MacLennan.
There are four main galleries with a total exhibition space of 10,000 square feet (1,000 m2). It is located on the site of a Victorian Bath House. In 1995, its conversion to an art galley once again restored the venue to the public realm.

The gallery programme included a mix of solo and group shows; national and international in all art disciplines.
