Wowee, what a night! 🌟 A huge thank you to everyone who braved the rain to join us for the opening of Afterglow. It was wonderful to celebrate alongside so many supporters of South Australian contemporary art.

Congratulations to both exhibiting artists, with more than 50% of the exhibition already sold on opening night!

The exhibition is open today until 3pm, then reopens from Tuesday at 9am. We look forward to seeing you at the gallery!
