Located just a few blocks north of Denver's popular LODO district, in the fast growth Ballpark neighborhood, + gallery sets the trends and continually attracts a high caliber of clientele as well as interest from mature exhibiting artists. The gallery is easy to find and readily accessible from all major traffic routes in and outside the city, including Boulder and anywhere along the I-25 corridor. + gallery is a full member of the professional and ethics based Denver Art Dealers Association (DADA).
Exhibition Structure and Publicity
Exhibitions at the gallery are typically on view for six weeks, with a one week setup time in-between, and are scheduled approximately one year or more in advance. Exhibitions range from solo efforts to group thematic shows with a curatorial vision that emphasizes progressive and thought provoking work. Exhibitions are critically evaluated by major local press on a consistent basis, including The Denver Post, Westword Weekly and The Rocky Mountain News, which in 2003 recognized the operation as the Top New Gallery in Denver. In addition, the gallery has been featured in national press when coverage extends to the Colorado region.
Location
The gallery is easy to find and readily accessible from all major traffic routes in and outside the city, including Boulder and anywhere along the I-25 corridor. Visitors staying downtown will find the location ideal, and just a short cab-ride from their hotel. Plenty of parking is available at all points within three blocks of the gallery, and largely free.
Capacity
+ gallery has an interior dimension of 3000 square feet, with approximately half of the space delineated for focal exhibitions. The gallery can comfortably host at least 150 guests at a time. Continuous traffic flow events can accommodate much higher total figures.
