Now that our public closure date has been announced, we really hope people will remember to stop by to spend some time with the artworks they love before we close on the evening of September 22.

Our final exhibition, Now You See It…,is a curated exhibition of works selected by the public, of artworks from the collection that they most wanted to see before we closed. That’s been lovely for us, getting works out of storage that in some instances haven’t been seen for a number of years, and having people come in to visit them.
