Visiting Kyara
At this time, Kyara Arthouse is open by appointment only. We are a living home as much as a cultural space, and we take care to ensure each visit is thoughtfully received.
We are working towards establishing regular public opening hours in the near future, and will share updates through our social channels when these are confirmed. In the meantime, we warmly welcome visitors who reach out in advance — whether you're curious about the gallery, considering a workshop, or simply want to see the space.

What to Expect
Kyara Art House is a working cultural space. You may encounter artists in residence, workshops in progress, or staff preparing exhibitions. This living atmosphere is central to our identity—we're not a static museum but an active community.
Take your time. Sit in the gardens. Browse the library. If a resident artist's studio is open, they often welcome questions. Our staff are happy to share context about exhibitions and our cultural programs.
Photography is welcome in most areas. We ask that you request permission before photographing artworks, residents, or workshop participants.
