Gallery Q

A two-floor gallery on the Nethergate in Dundee, in the Queen's Hotel buildings, with Scottish painting and crafts.

Welcome

Gallery Q is a fine art gallery on the Nethergate, one of Dundee's old main streets, set over two floors of the Queen's Hotel buildings; you can walk in from the street or through the hotel.

It was founded in 1999 as the Queen's Gallery by Joyce McGlone and shows fine art and sculpture, with a framing workshop too.

The gallery sells contemporary work by artists from Scotland and beyond, and it is particularly proud of the Scottish painters it supports, with exhibitions changing through the year. Alongside the paintings on its stone and white walls there is a wide range of crafts, from ceramics and glass to wood, textiles and jewellery, so it is as good for a small present as for a painting. It is a short walk from the Dundee Contemporary Arts centre along the Nethergate. It usually opens from Tuesday to Saturday; check before you go.
