The Muse Gallery
Midas are thrilled to start work with The Muse Gallery this month. The gallery was established by artists, to support emerging contemporaries by combining creative and commercial concepts under one roof. Since established in 2003, The Muse Gallery has continued to offer graduates and visiting artists improved conditions for arts practice and the exhibition of work and will endeavour to continue with ‘artists for artists’ at the heart of its organisation.
