Jazz in the Gallery
Where music and visual art come together.
Jazz in the Gallery is one of the creative experiences associated with the Blue Square Art Festival.
Combining live music with the visual impact of the Blue Square exhibition, these performances offer audiences a different way to experience art.
The gallery becomes an intimate setting where music, colour and creativity come together.
Details of future Jazz in the Gallery performances will be announced when confirmed
The Blue Square Tea Party
A cup of tea. A conversation. A connection..
The exhibition has always featured a welcoming tea room where visitors can enjoy a cup of tea, take time to appreciate the artworks and connect with others.
Art can start a conversation, encourage understanding and create connections between people who may otherwise never meet.
It reminds us that sometimes making a difference begins with sitting down, listening and sharing a conversation.
