UPDATE

Although the doors of the gallery are closed for the moment, we are still working on our long-term projects. Our classes and events are postponed, and we will let you know about new dates as soon as possible. We will be posting on our social media regularly. Also our website will be updated. It will be our new meeting place!

Our current exhibition (IMAGES OF HOME – TWO PERSPECTIVES) is supposed to finish on April 5, and a new exhibition (THE BEST OF THE BEST) is supposed to open on April 12. At the moment, the plan is for the gallery to be closed until April 5. If it is safe to return to work, we will extend the current exhibition until April 12, and open the new show on April 19. We will keep you posted!
