THE HUB

The Hub

The Hub was a dedicated space in the gallery for everyone to explore their creativity.

Operating from 2016 until the gallery's renovation in 2022 The Hub  was a place for self-directed art education and engagement for children, students and families.

All art lovers could enjoy hands on art activities inspired by the Gallery’s exhibition program, free of charge.

With a new activity designed to respond to each new major exhibition in the Gallery, The Hub provided a friendly place for people to take time out to play and explore their own ideas and skills.

 

Below are images of some of the different past HUB projects
