Small Works Exhibition
Our summer season opens with the much-loved Small Works Exhibition, featuring 140 beautifully crafted small artworks across a wide range of styles and mediums.
Building on last year’s successful 50 x 50 Exhibition, this year’s collection offers affordable pieces perfect for gifting — or for treating yourself.
With a “first in, first served” approach and the chance to take your chosen artwork home on the day, early visits are highly recommended.
