Current and Upcoming Exhibitions
Redland Coast Art Society Art Gallery and Studio is open for viewing by the public every 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month from 10am to 3pm.
We are displaying work by local artists - most of whom are members of our wonderful art society. The artwork on display is priced very sensibly.
Chat with our artists and tutors, wander around the Gallery and Studio at your leisure or help yourself to a beverage from our kitchen. We would love to see you!
