Having
entered into the windowed main lobby, the visual art gallery,
on the left, beckons. There are 4 large walls covered with
a wall carpet treatment to facilitate the ease of changing
two dimensional art displays. The neutral tone wall carpet
is backed with plywood to allow for heavy art, hung on strong
picture hooks or nails. When the nails are removed, the holes
are no longer visible. Each wall carpet segment is 5 feet
high and range in length from 3 feet to 21 feet. Art display
lights as well as general illumination fixtures enhance this
space. Large windows give the space a feel of being outside
and yet do not allow direct sunlight on the two dimensional
display areas. If possible, we suggest visiting the facility
before you plan your exhibit.
Three dimensional-art has display flexibility using portable
round display “tables” of varying heights, display
shelves and floor space. The mezzanine, just off the gallery,
offers an additional 33 feet of wall carpeted space for two-dimensional
art, also with art display lighting. This is very good display
space for close up viewing.
The Tannery Pond Community Center Association's Gallery Committee manages
the schedule of exhibitions in the gallery. The exhibits are
changed monthly. If you're interested in exhibiting your own
work, sending in a Request
to Exhibit form will initiate the process. Click
here for more information on exhibiting at TPCC. There
is not a retail function associated with the facility. Artists
may offer their work for sale and forms are available for this
purpose. Artwork on exhibit may not be removed until the end
of the exhibit. There currently is no fee to display but artists
are required to return 10% of the sales to the Gallery Committee
of TPCCA to defray their expenses. |
