What counts as an art gallery in Dalian

A space that shows art to the public: commercial galleries, artist-run centres, public galleries. What doesn't count: the framed prints at the coffee shop, corporate lobbies, and shops that only sell art supplies. The bar is a real exhibition space with a real programme.

Dalian sits about 39° north of the equator, so it gets proper seasons. Winter is gallery season in the best way: the big exhibitions open when everyone's indoors and looking for things to do, and opening nights are at their liveliest.

When galleries in Dalian get mapped, they appear here with addresses and hours where recorded. Mapped means listed — no paid placement, no favourites.

Gallery smarts for Dalian

No mapped galleries yet, but the gallery habits work anywhere. Four worth knowing:

• Don't rush the video work. Video installations need their full runtime. Sit down, give it the minutes it asks for.
• Go to opening nights. Free entry, the artists in the room, and a crowd that wants to talk about the work. The best gallery experience there is.
• Ask about private views. Mailing lists get you invited to previews — quieter, with the artists around and first pick of the work.
• Follow the galleries online. Openings and one-night events get announced on social media first. One follow catches them all.

What we're watching for in Dalian
