The Foundation for the Study of Objective Art is a London-based private charity that provides Gallery Arcturus with funding for the space. Our services have been offered to the public for free.

Reviews Summary

Gallery Arcturus is overwhelmingly popular among reviewers. Full of character and warmth, visitors feel welcomed here while admiring the well-curated local art pieces and taking in the cozy setting. The free, 3-story flooded with natural light enables every visitor to manage the deliberate position of the art pieces in the limited space. There are plants present throughout the venue, making it feel more homely. Floyd Kuptana also developed magnificent half-human/animal sculptures there. Several praised the welcoming atmosphere and said that they truly enjoyed their visits. The chance to view works in progress and interact with the galleries' owner was a memorable highlight for many. Most guests are continually delighted that the art is frequently replaced. This hidden gem will almost certainly reach expectations for anyone who values a special, comfortable, and welcoming place to see local artists. Staff friendliness was also mentioned multiple times, with staff being described by some as fantastic and welcoming. The self-guided tour is always available. It was recently renovated and many liked the open basement as well. This maze-like gallery will surely change your mind about art galleries!
