GALLERY

The beautiful and historic spaces of Gallery X are available for cultural or social events, public or private. Our gallery and performance spaces can be rented daily, weekly, or monthly. The former church building at 169 William St. has been transformed by Gallery X into two exhibition spaces: the Main Gallery upstairs is a large wide open space with high ceilings (20ft +) and two movable walls, and the Frederick Douglass Gallery located on the lower level. Each gallery space contains a stage for performances. There is a service kitchen on the lower level making the facility an ideal venue for hosting catered events. The building is fully handicap accessible with an access ramp, a restroom and a wheel chair lift.

Gallery X will gladly consider rental discounts for other non-profit or community groups. Proposals can be presented at the member monthly meetings, every 2nd Wed. at 7pm.
