FRONT GALLERY SPACE
The Front Gallery is the first space you will enter at the front door of Arts Warehouse. The expansive ~3,000 sq.ft. gallery space features movable walls, track lighting and natural lighting provided by large west facing windows. The Front Gallery has an industrial design aesthetic thanks to the building’s origins as a warehouse for car parts, before being transformed into the Arts Warehouse space it is today in 2017.
With the center walls being moveable, they are able to be removed entirely to create an open floor concept, perfect for sculptural or installation works. The exposed beams and pipes in the ceiling allow for hanging works and sculptures to be a regular occurance. It’s a truly unique space that provides a neutral backdrop for 2D and 3D works.
Exhibitions are on view for 2 – 3 months at a time and focus primarily on contemporary art to promote and provide exposure for local, national and international artists. To what’s currently on view, click here.
Artists interested in a being part of our growing exhibition catalog should submit a Portfolio Submission or during one of our ‘call to artist’ shows.*Portfolio Submissions are subject to the approval of Arts Warehouse staff and do not guarantee a show in the Warehouse
CONFERENCE ROOM
The Conference Room is accessed through the Front Gallery. It is available for Resident Studio Artists to use occasionally in addition to their studio, and also available for rent to the public. The conference style set up is equipped with acoustic ceiling panels to reduce airborne noise and improve the sound quality by absorbing sound waves and eliminating echoes. The room is a flexible and functional space that gives meetings, talks and/or collaborative projects a place to become reality and accommodates up to 14 people.
WHITE BOX
Our largest room, the White Box, is exactly that. Well not exactly a box by measurement, but close. The 3,600sqft room with 21 foot ceilings is truly unique. Features such as a hint of natural light, industrial overhead lighting that dims, and a flexible format that allows for many types of activations.
The White Box is also referred to as the Back Room Gallery, as it is utilized as an exhibition space. The Back Room Gallery allows for a unique viewing experience, being able to see the work up close and at a distance. The room also allows for work to be hung and installed at great heights, really taking advantage of the high ceilings.
The White Box is frequently used for Arts Warehouse’s workshop programs. This flexible space can easily transform into a place to create by adding tables, chairs, and easels.
This room is also available for rent through the Facility Rental Program. It’s a perfect location for your event, photoshoot, or meeting.
