We look forward to seeing you at Lakeside Arts Wallner Gallery for our exhibition ‘Off the Wall: From the Inside Looking Out’. We want to push our collective to create original and different ways of organising an exhibition. The works included will not just be displayed in the “typical” exhibition style and normal museum behaviour will not apply. The works are tactile and textured, and there is no predetermined way to view them. From February 22nd 2020
