Nunnery News - July 2012
The Nunnery Gallery has been a busy place recently, with lots of refurbishment work, the brand new Carmelite Cafe and our fantastic Madge Gill exhibition which has provoked lots of interest, including the pick of the week in the Guardian. The exhibition continues to run until 23rd August so make sure you catch it over the summer. But that's not all. In the month of July, the Nunnery is proud to present a few other events. Details below.
