303 Projects is a not for profit contemporary art gallery and project space in Lowestoft, Suffolk, run by artist Alexander Costello.
The gallery champions contemporary art in Lowestoft, with the aim to engage and enrich the community through the promotion and delivery of a high quality contemporary art programme of diverse and inclusive exhibitions, screenings and talks by and with local, national and internationally recognised and renowned artists, including Turner Prize winners, Paul Hamlyn Foundation recipients, and artists that exhibit at major national institutions, such as the V&A, Tate Modern, Tate Britain, Royal Academy, the Hepworth, Kettles Yard, Serpentine Gallery, Baltic and the Courtauld Institute.
The gallery welcomes and invites collaboration, exchange and opportunities with local, national and international artists, arts organisations and institutions.
303 Projects is a Community Interest Company (CIC) and run for the particular benefit of the Lowestoft community. This is achieved and recognised though a commitment to delivering a free, public facing, high quality exhibition programme unique to the town that welcomes everyone, and includes open invitations to 'meet the artist' receptions and talks, and Saturday afternoon drop-ins with the gallery director, as a means to broaden the local discussion and understanding around contemporary art with each exhibition. 303 Projects also collaborates with Lowestoft primary and secondary schools, FE institutions, groups and individuals to host 'pop up' exhibitions - either side of the main exhibition programme - to showcase and give a platform to art by children, young people and adults from the local community.
