There are about 60 works out at any one time but they are rotated, usually after a temporary exhibition. Its works are also occasionally on loan to other galleries. The Old Coach House alongside the house also has exhibition space often used for contemporary exhibitions.

in support of LITTLE FIGHTERS CANCER TRUST (Closing date 28th August 2015)
T

essentials for the care and support of young cancer patients. Children under the age of 18 who create a butterfly mosaic will not be requested to also make a cash donation unless they wish to.
The project invites mosaic artists and crafters to create a butterfly in mosaic. This could be either a 20×20cm wood base or butterfly cut-out (not to exceed 40cm) to be mosaiced in bright, cheerful colours. These mosaics will then be displayed at entrance halls to oncology and wards that look after kids with cancer.
The project will be completed at the end of August 2015. The mosaics will be uploaded to the MASA website and members asked to vote for their favourites. The Top 10 (20) will form part of the annual MASA Mosaic Exhibition to be held in Johannesburg September 2015.
Participants will be requested to donate R50 with their butterfly, because although the mosaics are pretty to look at, do not buy
