If you are passing through , make sure not to miss our latest exhibition now open at ARTERIE GALLERY:

MAKING A MARK

with new work by 24 artists (local and visiting)

Mark making is a visual signature. Like a fingerprint, it captures a unique rhythm, the pressure of a hand, and a spontaneous emotional release. From the raw energy of a rapid charcoal line to the quiet patience of tiny, stippled dots, these artworks reflect the subconscious mind in motion.

Every piece in the exhibition represents a moment where an artist communicates something deeply human.

As you explore the exhibition, we invite you to look closely at the energy behind the strokes. Notice how these raw gestures transfer emotion directly onto the page.

Open weekdays 10-3
Saturdays 10-2
