Additional:
*This year due to the ongoing COVID-19 restrictions there will not be a specific preview evening and instead we will just open our doors to the exhibitions on the day. We will be limiting the number of people permitted into the galleries at any one time and introducing a number of other measures to keep our visitors and staff safe. We will be staying open until late in the evening and there will be other exhibitions opening in and around Swansea on Sat 3rd October. So please be patient and everyone will get to see the shows.
The exhibitions that have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic will be rescheduled to a later date.
