Local artists often show new work at the start of each season, so a visit at a different time of year can show a different side of the gallery. Many visitors buy a small piece as a memory of a trip, so it helps to ask about pricing and framing before choosing. Regulars often attend openings and talks, which are a good way to meet the makers.
