The Annexe Gallery at Central Market

The Annexe Gallery, located in the Central Market Annexe building, was launched in 2007 as a centre for contemporary arts.

Perfectly complementing the more traditional Central Market, The Annexe Gallery provides spaces for the ongoing expression of present generations. Since its opening, the Gallery has attracted countless youths and adults seeking ideas, insights and inspiration.

The Annexe Gallery is much loved for its accessibility, interactivity and alternative nature. It has featured art ranging frompopulist to political, multi-disciplinary to unclassifiable. The Gallery aims to provide a democratic space that champions a diversity of perspectives. The Gallery has successfully built a community of artists, activists, thinkers and believers in freedom of expression.

The Gallery has an eclectic programmme of events, some of which is organised by the Gallery and others which are organised in collaboration with other creative types from various fields. The three gallery spaces can be used for anything: art exhibitions, theatre, dance, film screenings, music gigs, readings, fashion shows, book launches and workshops. The Annexe Gallery also welcomes forums, talks and press conferences by NGOs.
