Dear Friends,
From art exhibitions that take you around the world, to art that is closer to home, to art that celebrates the beautiful cultural legacy of this region, you will find much to enjoy in our galleries. Art classes and workshops, lectures and gallery tours, plus a full range of programming for families and children – there is something special here for all ages and a wonderful way to spend leisure time. We are open seven days a week with free admission for all. And everyone is welcome!
I hope to see you soon,
