Hey there! How has your week been? We hope you are keeping safe and warm!

Well while the week is almost over, we are still open during Monday through to Friday between 10 am to 4 pm, and Saturday 10 am to 2 pm. Our helpful team are ready to greet you at the gallery and help you with any questions!

Right now, the In Rivers exhibition is currently on display up to the 27th of June 2026. You will absolutely enjoy the various descriptions of flowing water from these talented artists. Notice how their artworks cleverly and intuitively explore the metaphorical, emotional and physical aspects of the water substance as it flows.
