Hang the Work.The Room Does the Rest.
Natural light, hardwood floors, and a century-old hall that makes every wall feel like a gallery. Sloans Lake, Denver.
A backdrop that earns its place in the photos
White-box galleries make work float in nothing. This hall gives it context: warm wood, white brick, and stained glass that shifts the light through the afternoon. Openings, pop-up markets, student shows, and photography exhibitions have all hung here, and the cafe lounge keeps conversation going long after the first pass through the show.

Resident artist: Karen Borthick
The paintings hanging in the hall today, including several of the works in the photos above, are by Denver artist Karen Borthick. Her show lives with us between events, which is its own answer to how art looks in this room. See more of her work at karenborthickart.com.
Going public? We promote it with you.
Any event you open to the public gets our co-promotion at no charge: a flyer on the community bulletin board, a listing on the What’s On calendar here on the site, and posts to our social channels. Our audience already comes here to find things to do; a public event starts with a crowd.

Exhibition Questions, Answered
Most shows hang work along the wood-framed partition wall and the white brick wall, and round out the show with easels and tables across the floor. The room is flexible; walk it with us and plan your layout.
Yes. Sales of artwork are up to you and your artists. Note that alcohol is different: it can be served but never sold on premises.
Tall arched windows on two walls bring in generous daylight, and the stained glass throws warm color across the hall in the afternoon. Evening shows run on the warm interior lighting.
Yes, BYOB is welcome. An opening with alcohol needs a certificate of general liability insurance and a TIPS-certified bartender if drinks are being served.
Up to 125 guests. Openings tend to flow between the main hall and the cafe lounge, which comfortably absorbs the crowd around the work.
Yes. Multi-day exhibitions are booked as consecutive rental windows; booking 8 or more total hours triggers an automatic 10% discount. Reach out and we will map dates together.
Events end by 10 PM. Hanging, styling, and breakdown all happen within your booked rental window, so build that time into the hours you reserve.
The front entrance has ramp access and the main hall is on the entry level. Main hall restrooms are downstairs and are not ADA accessible; ADA restrooms are available next door at Merritt Workspace.
