Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Visit the gallery on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday between 2 and 6 pm, when entry is free. For a youth program, use the email or interest form linked from the Get Involved page..

You can just show up.

What to expect

A gallery visit is free and open during posted afternoon hours, with exhibitions to walk through. The building is described as mobility accessible, with restrooms on every floor. Performances and community nights need a ticket, and seating is set up for programmed events.

Tips for your first visit

  • Use the map link on the Visit page to plan your route, since the site does not describe the entrance.
  • If you need an accommodation, contact the group in advance using the address on the Visit page.
  • If fragrances bother you, mention it ahead of time, since a fragrance free space is not guaranteed.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The gallery is open to walk in visitors during posted hours, and events are sold to the public. The youth programs take inquiries by email or an interest form, but the enrollment steps are not spelled out..

Access notes
The page says the building is mobility accessible, with access to all public floors and spaces. Each floor has single occupant, non-gendered restrooms with a changing station, and seating accommodations are available at programmed events. If you contact the group in advance, it will try to meet requests such as assistive technology or materials in another format. A fragrance free space is not guaranteed because most events are open to the public.
