"There is no syllabus, or any style that you must subscribe to, just an island of opportunity in the week, to practice, talk or hear about art,” said Christian.

The forthcoming Spring Exhibition is not only a showcase of local art talent but a great opportunity to find some unique affordable artwork for your home.
