G39 is an artist-run gallery in the heart of Cardiff, Wales’ capital city. Housed in a narrow three storey building the exhibition spaces are domestic in scale. The gallery curates between six and eight exhibitions per year and often hosts events in the interim weeks. In addition to the gallery programme, g39 also works in offsite locations for individual projects. The upper floor of the gallery houses the Wales Artist Resource Programme – WARP - an open-access resource and training space for artists.

G39 focuses on contemporary work and consciously programmes a mix of work from Wales with work from further afield, placing work by established names alongside work by emerging or lesser known artists. The focus is on experimentation and risk and g39 aims to provide the opportunities to showcase new work rather than relying on selling.

The organisation exists with the generous support of the Arts Council Of Wales and it is the only artist-run space to receive Revenue funding from ACW. G39 has recently been recognised as a Beacon company, an award that aims to ‘enable those companies and organisations which consistently create work of high quality and achieve levels of excellence to develop’. The Arts Council currently provide around 60% of their total costs and the remainder is provided through different trusts and organisations and, crucially, the input of a number of volunteers on the project. The WARP programme is supported by the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation.
