Visual Arts

The Gallery has a particular interest in the resonance between folk culture and contemporary visual culture as well as supporting local artists. The supports include material grants, residencies, part-time employment and fees.

We work with our incoming artists to provide school tours and workshops to help our local student community address the arts curriculum.
