The Gallery:

This large and beautiful space is our principle gallery. We will be mounting a major group exhibition based on the submissions we receive using our synchonistic curating method.

The Display Area:

This large open public space is where we have mounted major installations as both group and solo shows.

 

 

The Corridor Galleries:

The venue is a repurposed former high school so there are many hallways. We will again be mounting solo shows. We plan to dedicate entire halls to individual artists. We also use the halls for smaller group shows and wall installations.

The Public Spaces:

The facility has open public spaces where we plan to exhibit installation work.
