Do It Yourself


Any space can be transformed into a gallery. All you need
is a location and willing participants. An easy way to start is
with people you are already friends with. As your gallery builds steam, it becomes easier to approach others who you may not be as familiar with.

An essential part to transforming any space into a gallery is
to treat it as such. Create announcements, hold receptions,
accept submissions. Be consistent. By treating your gallery
with respect, others will too, and may want to become as
involved with the space as you are.

Below is a PDF with suggestions for installing floors, walls,
and lighting. We only ask that you keep in touch – send us
pictures of your exhibitions and creations!
