This gallery was perfect for my show of 40 paintings on canvas. The facilities are clean and open and user-friendly. The garage door at the rear made unloading easy. The security system is easy to use. Terrific space!

Great Space Nice setup and tons of chairs and tables Sonos Speakers are great The only downside is there were lots of paintings still left on the wall which we had to take down and put back again

Franco L. booked a marriage proposal for 30 people
The space is super spacious and well equipped for any event you might have in mind! Loading through the huge garage door was a breeze especially with parking allocated to the space in the back. The speakers were superb and lighting was on point! I would highly recommend booking this space for your future events! Also Emma was extremely helpful in answering my questions and very responsive!
Erica R. booked a first birthday for 34 people
We were super happy with this space for my sons first birthday party. It really could lend itself to anything. I wasn’t sure what to expect but with the art all taken down we were able to decorate and really have it suit the event (though their art was beautiful too). 10/10 would recommend
