Arbis gallery
The gallery is conveniently located on the second floor by the café. Exhibitions in autumn vary, but in spring the gallery is generally reserved for Arbis’ own art courses. The exhibitions are changed every three weeks. If you want to exhibit your work, contact Hans-Peter Homstén by the end of April for exhibitions in the next working year. The gallery is run on a non-profit basis.
