Many galleries and hospitality businesses nationally and internationally have varying hours for winter and during the quieter months.
During lower visitation periods it makes sense for us to close for a day mid-week.
From May 16 to August 28, we will trial closing on Wednesdays.
Our exhibitions and Gallery Shop are always open online with a variety of new works as well as popular favourites.
