IKON

Galleries

Ikon offers over 440m² of elegant and spacious gallery spaces, providing an exceptional setting with high ceilings and an abundance of natural light. The exhibitions not only provide a wonderful and truly original backdrop for a variety of events, they also offer a stimulating talking point for guests, making an event at Ikon a unique and rewarding experience.

 

The gallery can accommodate a range of corporate hospitality events including receptions, breakfast meetings, seminars, presentations and product launches.

 

Ikon presents between eight and ten unique exhibitions each year, each of which alters the appearance of the galleries dramatically. Exhibitions run for six weeks and provide a truly original backdrop for corporate entertaining and private events.
