Outdoor gallery at Kingston Arts Centre

Art merges into the evening streetscape with our six large-format light boxes.

Positioned outside the Arts Centre entrance and courtyard between City Hall, the artworks change every 2 to 4 months to reflect themes featured in exhibition programs.

The installations invite passers-by to engage with contemporary art in a unique, accessible setting - a testament to the idea that art never sleeps.
