Nowhere is here continues the programme of intriguing and lively exhibitions at aspex, Portsmouth's leading contemporary art gallery. Founded in 1981, aspex moved into new premises in the Vulcan Building near the city's waterfront in December 2006. The transformation of this disused Napoleonic era storage building into a bright and inviting arts space that combines the best of the old and the new won a Royal Institute of British Architects award in 2007.
