COMMUNITY OPEN DAY

Mahara Gallery from

Mahara Gallery is moving offsite while the building undergoes a much-needed redevelopment.

We're holding a Community Open Day, Saturday 30 October, 10am till 1pm to farewell the old building and celebrate our exciting future.

Come along to learn about the gallery's history, its upgrade and our interim plans.

You'll be able to help make the final artwork in the gallery, which will be created by you sharing your memories of Mahara.
