Interactive: Our members show, located on the second floor.
Grand Installations: An immersive Art Experience: Visitors will be part of the ongoing intermixing of creativity, the ongoing exchange of thought patterns, uniquely placed within the creative zone with the merging of visions, words, music, thoughts… never static.
