Room III · 14 Nov 2026 – 28 Feb 2027
Join the opening night: Form & ShadowCurated with care. Made for slow looking.
We opened our doors in 2014 with a simple belief: art should be met in person, at your own pace, without a ticket price standing in the way. Every work on our walls is chosen by artists, for visitors.
- [Chosen by working artists]
- [Free entry, every day we open]
- [New exhibitions each season]
Here, a visit means quiet rooms, honest light and time to stand in front of one painting for as long as you like. Whether you collect, create, or simply wandered in from the street, this is a place to pause — and see something new.
