Development of the Gallery
While we were all grateful to have a space to exhibit, an upgrade was welcome!
Before September 2009 the gallery had a blue pin board on an orange wall.
During 2009 the space was freshened with a new white wall and additional hanging system.
During 2010 six quality display cases were introduced, building capacity for secure display of 3D objects. New seating was also acquired to make it a more comfortable space to reflect on the art.
