The Art Spaces at Cass Art celebrate our community, they support the creative endeavour of local artists by offering a regular programme of diverse exhibitions and events. Through The Art Spaces we are able to showcase the people and the art that we believe in. Everyone should be able to experience, embrace and get involved in all forms of contemporary creativity based on the fundamental principles of talent and ability.
We’re committed to ensuring that artists have a platform to be seen by all in a model that encourages the contemplation of artworks in a calm, open and most importantly accessible environment.
