The 200 Show

6th December – 25th January. A Community Exhibition.

This also allows art lovers to purchase works by local artists in a wide range of media, conveniently timed just before Christmas. 2024 will see the show take over our gallery for the 11th year in a row.

Filling every corner in each one of our galleries is the 200 show. 245 submissions were made from our community. Groups and individuals incorporating 2024’s theme Hide and Seek.
