Reviews
A beautiful building with a lot of potential, however, unfortunately most of the gallery rooms are quite empty with absolutely no seating. Pictures and other art is sloppily pinned to the wall without any frame. Very poor attention to detail with some absolutely awful works. Although art is subjective, I believe there is no reason to hang a pieces of yarn all over one of the gallery halls. That was truly a boring exhibit. Some of the works are great, but the place needs a lot more work with more more seating. It would not hurt to add a little detail to the walls instead of boring white ones... Also, the pictures pinned on the wall is nothing but sloppy showmanship. For an artist looking for inspiration, it could be a good place. Would not recommend to the average goer.

I love the fresh and original exhibitions! On the first Friday of each month you can enjoy the company of people interested in the arts scene, have a glass of wine, and local performers who sing and dance! Great art classes too for all ages.

This place is a gem. Great, big exhibition spaces and a variety of programming for multiple audiences and participation levels. Really glad they got rid of the carpet in the contemporary wing.

An amazing gallery that features artists from emerging to established. I especially enjoy RMG Friday's and the spotlight on local and independent musicians.
