Spike Island has a curated programme of exhibitions, talks and events. Currently the gallery programme is focused around solo commissions and guest curated group shows, many of which are the outcome of our residency programme.

Recent residency artists who have shown new work across 2010 include Amanda Beech (Arts Council England, South West Residency), Aaron Williamson (Adam Reynolds Memorial Bursary), Zoe Williams (Rootstein Hopkins Artists' Award) and Jorge Santos (Calouste Gulbenkian Residency).

We also host occasional residencies for writers and curators, one of whom, Gordana Nikolic (Accented Residency) curated the group show, Wealth of Nations in Autumn 2010 alongside Kristian Lukic.
