Christmas is just around the corner and you know what that means! Buying presents for other people can be really hard at times. Trying to find something they’d like within your budget these days can be a nightmare. Surely Christmas shopping in this day and age would be easier? The Pavilion Social Gallery has just made that much easier and can be found upstairs on the rooftop at the Pavilion Shopping Centre!
This initiative proudly partnered with the regional office of the Department of Arts & Culture and the Notha Empowerment Youth Program, a local NPO organisation based in Chesterville, provides a platform in growing and supporting local fashion, clothing, home décor and food entrepreneurs all under one opportune and safe location.
