Gallery Grounds

  • 4 views

Gallery Grounds is an independent contemporary art space founded in March 2025, dedicated to collaboration, creative exchange, and meaningful cultural dialogue. Located in Southampton, the gallery is directed by interior architect Aycan Erinsel Özistek and curated by art historian Gülçin Pehlivan Tezdiker — two women united by their deep artistic experience and a shared vision rooted in solidarity. Together, they aim to cultivate a vibrant cultural presence in Southampton, the city they have come to love and call home.

Gallery Grounds is more than a place to exhibit art — it is a living, breathing space where art intersects with everyday life. With our in-house café, Coffelogy, we create a warm and inspiring atmosphere that encourages visitors to engage with art in a way that feels both accessible and personal.

About The Local Art Scene

The Local Art Scene was created as a way of finding and supporting local art and artists in towns and cities across the UK.

The site was launched in 2016 by a local Hampshire artist, who saw the need for a national directory where artists, galleries, clubs and suppliers could present themselves in an easily accessible environment, outside of conventional social media platforms.

Not all your customers are on social media! Our pages are ranked high on the search engines, enabling our listings to be found more easily through conventional searches, and in most cases our pages are listed in the top 10 of Google and MSN for individual artists and suppliers.

Boost your exposure! A listing on The Local Art Scene can help boost your existing website traffic or provide a cheaper solution to creating and maintaining your own website.
