Main Gallery

Installation View: Tranlations/Transgressions, Main Gallery

The premier Main Gallery is the largest exhibition space of the complex constituting the Fine Arts Center Galleries. It is trapezoidal in nature, providing for eccentrically congruent installation schemes. A nearly 13 foot ceiling, concrete floor and recently refurbished sheetrock walls accomodate a range of media presented through contemporary one-person, two-person and group exhibitions. Main Gallery exhibitions of a multicultural nature have been routinely developed for recent summer calendars, when an entirely public audience frequents the Fine Arts Center.
