The Expo displays a wide range of themes, topics, media and style from local and national artists which are available for purchase. Thursday 5th April is our Opening Night! Come along for an evening of wine tasting and delicious hors d’oeuvres & light supper. This is an excellent opportunity to preview this years selection of artworks and purchase your favourite pieces.
