Garrison Gallery

Imagine you're at an art exhibition. Only there’s artisan crafted cocktails, selected wines and craft beers, a DJ, and a sudden urge to dance. You head back the next day but instead you find a community market, a kids’ fun day, a drag quiz or is it Garri-oke?

Our collective dream has always been to be a sanctuary for creativity. Whilst the Patchwork team knew its way around a microphone, art was another story. That was until Andy and Amanda joined the team.
