SOLAR GALLERY: The Beauty of Small Things
18th Oct 2025 - 16th Nov 2025 11:00 am - 4:00 pm
The Solar Gallery’s autumn/festive theme is The Beauty of Small Things.
Named after the historic room it occupies, the Solar Gallery is a permanent space upstairs showcasing the diverse work of professional painters, printmakers, photographers, sculptors, and textile/ceramic/glass artists. Some are established with decades of exhibition experience, while others are students just beginning their artistic journey!
The fresh exhibition of small artworks presents a wonderful chance to connect with local artists, buy budget-friendly art for your space, and find a distinctive Christmas gift.
