The gallery was established in 1961, by Jeremy Rees (1937 - 2003), son of the artist Jean Rees and moved to its current site in 1975 and has established itself as leading centre for contemporary arts. Originally dedicated to exhibiting the work of artists from the West of England under the Directorship of Barry Barker in the 1980s the gallery moved towards a more general spread of contemporary art. Barker supervised a successful refurbishment of the building by David Chipperfield. Before development work began, the Arnolfini was attracting over 400,000 visitors per year. In addition to the gallery itself, the centre presents a programme of live art and dance, cinema specialising in independent film, a well-stocked art bookshop, and a popular waterfront café and bar. The Arnolfini is named after Jan van Eyck's masterpiece The Arnolfini Portrait (1434) depicting the merchant and arts patron Giovanni Arnolfini.
