2.                  Petroff Gallery exhibits Fine Art and Contemporary Craft. This primarily include painting, mixed media, sculptural and functional works in glass, ceramics, textile, wood and metal, and a select collection of jewellery.

3.           The Gallery represents artists at all levels of their development, including emerging, mid-career and senior artists.
