Main Gallery
The
Main Gallery Space is a large area which is suited to a large body of work,
with a cohesive and strong theoretical or thematic structure. It is our main
support system for educational guided tours and workshops, as well as
fundraising. We plan for approximately eight exhibits annually in this space.
Where: the main floor of The ACT
building
Size: Approximately 1,440 square feet, with
100 linear feet of wall space and can accommodate from one to five of our
portable walls. Each portable wall measures 4 feet wide by 2 feet deep by 8
feet high. With a ceiling height of 11.5 feet this space can provide a channel
for large sculptures, installations, and 2D works.
Floor: The flooring is covered in a neutral,
low nap commercial style Berber carpet, and the
Lighting: the gallery provides multiple lighting sources,
such as spot and fluorescent. There are also two large 11 H x 5 W windows with
a natural light source that can be controlled with solid roller blinds and
Venetian blinds.
Work exhibited in the Main Gallery is
accessible to the public during gallery hours of operation and special
events presented in the building.
