Mesmerizing photographs will freeze fleeting moments in time, immortalizing the beauty found in everyday life.

Art not only serves as a source of personal joy and inspiration but also plays a vital role in enhancing our living spaces. The exhibition will demonstrate how art can transform a house into a home, injecting personality and character into any space. Whether it’s a bold and colourful painting adorning the walls, a captivating photograph acting as a conversation starter or a stunning fabric art piece becoming the focal point of a room, art has the power to create an atmosphere that reflects our individuality and enriches our daily lives.

Attendees will have the chance to meet the artists, engage in insightful conversations and acquire artworks that resonate with them personally. The show will bring together 34 juried artists, including four who are new to the event.
