There are always exhibitions and art shows held here.

Gallery Seescape

Torlarp Larpjaroensook was the artist who created Gallery Seescape. This was one of his artistic journeys. He went on to open Hern Gallery seven years later. The bright, white-walled space was a perfect backdrop for any gallery exhibition that was held at the time.
