What we offer

For participating venues and institutions, the fee for a Hayward Touring exhibition covers all research and origination costs, two-way transport of works (for major shows, this is by the Hayward Gallery’s own vans), indemnity, exhibition graphics and interpretation resources. Audio-visual equipment is usually supplied where necessary and, for most larger-scale shows, Hayward Touring driver-technicians are available to help with installations.

Marketing and Press

The Communications and Marketing Department at Southbank Centre provides support and advice to venues on publicity for Hayward Touring exhibitions, and leads on national publicity for an exhibition at the start of a tour, in collaboration with galleries’ own press teams. A press pack with high-resolution images, pre-drafted press release, and full logo and line credit details is provided for each venue.

Learning and Participation

Working closely with participating venues, we aim to create imaginative models for engagement that bring people closer to the ideas, approaches and materials of contemporary art. We also want to find ways of linking work at participating venues with the Hayward Gallery and Southbank Centre in our desire to build a community around the UK and beyond.

Interpretation

Interpretation is integral to all Hayward Touring exhibitions and may take various forms besides exhibition texts and contextual material. Some approaches may involve new media and unorthodox methodology, while others build on tried and tested models. In each case they are developed in close consultation with the exhibition’s curator and, if possible, the artists, as well as with colleagues in host venues.

Publishing

High quality, fully-illustrated books are published for most major Hayward Touring exhibitions (Category A). These books represent excellent value for the visitor, as well as a commercial opportunity for the gallery retailer. They are supplied directly to venues by Hayward Publishing, as well as being distributed internationally by Cornerhouse Publications and Distributed Art Publishers.
