There is generally a theme to the exhibitions and window displays at Room 212 and this encourages artists to regularly update and create new work. Room 212 is owned and run by Sarah Thorp, a practicing mixed media artist. She aims to bring affordable art to customers while helping artists to make a reasonable living from their work.
