Community Pop Up Exhibition: Jim Mooney Gallery
To celebrate the reopening of the Jim Mooney Gallery and this year’s George Town Christmas Carnival, we invite local artists, makers, and creatives of all ages to take part in a special Pop-Up Christmas Exhibition.
The theme Christmas Traditions Near & Far invites you to share what the festive season means to you, whether it is a family ritual, a cultural celebration, or a local tradition that brings people together.
This is a community showcase open to all ages and experience levels. It’s a great way to share your creativity, be part of the Carnival atmosphere, and help celebrate the gallery’s reopening.
