WALKING GALLERY


A mock-up of the Urban city environment which will allow artists to rent wall space to paint and display art as is done on back streets and alley ways up to front windows in cities. This gallery for exposition of urban art in all forms will consist of a massive space, which will be a wide-open area with divider walls from floor to ceiling. All areas of this room will be covered in art from top to bottom to be reserved and painted on a contract/space time constrained basis. Everything from the walls, to the floor, to the ceiling will have art across it in a variety of styles from stencil to oil, graffiti and stencil. Separation walls that create a walk around constant changing art, within these walls will be sectioned off space for frames to be displayed against white walls. A 4-foot tall white out area will be on every wall starting 4 feet from the ground and rising 3 1/2 feet tall. In this area will be displayed framed art in gallery fashion.  A path will take you either around the sides of the gallery or through it around the walls and through various freestanding art installations and statues.  You will be emerged in art with only a white line 3 feet thick around the whole place for hanging art on display. There will be an Internet area with multimedia displayed and access to information on artists on display, street art, upcoming events, video and other information all on computer monitors and flat panel displays.
