the greenhouse – Venue for the Arts
the greenhouse is the Guernsey Arts Commission’s dedicated space committed to the nurture, cultivation and exhibition of ideas and projects. As a non-commercial space the greenhouse has the opportunity to bring the more unique and innovative to Guernsey.
Centrally located in the Guernsey Information Centre (where the Arts
Development Team Offices are housed), the greenhouse remains focused on providing a diverse programme while also giving the opportunity, through a far reaching workshop programme, to increase participation in a wide range of arts activities.
