LRG Winter Program: 15 May - 1 August

Our upcoming Winter Program invites you to get curious. Our world is changing fast and to really understand it we might have to pause, notice and ponder what this place is all about - galleries are a great place to do that.

Be sure to join us for the opening celebration event on Friday 28 May at 6pm. We have planned something special to welcome you and the artists to LRG and also have some exciting LRG Live events.

It’s always our pleasure to see you at LRG
