Great gallery in an old restored building that alone is worth seeing. The Guru Shots exhibition was beautifully displayed! The hospitality of the opening night was nicely displayed and tasty. Wish they served a glass of wine to go with the tasty treats. Staff we very accommodating and informative.
MoreWe walked into this gallery on our way to dinner. It is located conveniently in downtown. We were warmly welcomed when we entered. It is a small gallery and the displays were very enjoyable. If you have a little time when you are in the area, I would suggest stopping in.
MoreNot only are there changing exhibits of local artists works but the renovation of this space is also worth seeing. On Sept 29 I attended an opening reception for a special exhibition of The Studio Door's Studio Artists which is in Hillcrest so it was Uptown Meets Downtown at the Sparks Gallery. This will be displayed until January 5, 2020 on the 2nd floor mezzanine level. The Sparks Gallery original wood floor and brick walls and glass windows really showcase what a gem this building is. It's a perfect venue for special events as well as the art work. It's best to check out their website to arrange a visit.
