Artists presenting a diverse selection of mediums and styles—from oils, acrylics, and watercolours to glass, metal, wood, ceramics, mosaics, and textiles—offering something to suit every taste and budget.
Our local community volunteers, usually not artists, who love to get involved and make your visitor experience to the exhibition as enjoyable, relaxed and informative as possible.
