  • presenting lectures and seminars in conjunction with its exhibitions that will have a broad educational role;
  • exhibiting work which would not usually be shown by a commercial/private gallery, such as work from public or private collections, work of an ephemeral nature, or work which is in other ways not commercially oriented.
