Gallery tips for Duncan

Gallery-going in Duncan? A few habits help:

• Trust your own reaction at The Loft Art Gallery. You don't need the wall text's permission to love or hate a piece. Your honest reaction is the whole point of going.
• Ask what's coming next at Ladysmith Gallery. Gallerists love talking about the next show. It also tells you when to come back.
• Buy the catalogue. Exhibition catalogues are the affordable art book. They sell out after the show closes.
• The café is part of the visit. If the gallery has a café, use it. Lingering over coffee after the show is half the experience.
