Our Gallery Space

Jane St. Art Center is a for-profit equal opportunity organization. Generally we do not rent the space but we are open to proposals and we can see if we can accommodate. We have 2 galleries, a meeting area upstairs, a full kitchen, lounge, art studio and courtyard; Gallery South is dedicated to 2D and 3D art and Gallery North is dedicated to installation and performance, including lectures, dance, film etc. Artists are expected to show in both galleries with work that relates to each other. Generally we show solo and collaborative exhibitions vs group shows or outside curation. Artists have a 6 weekend exhibition period. We have an outside juried call for art once a year toward the end of August for our following spring April slot other wise artists are chosen my the gallery director. Artist residencies this winter are suspended due to COVID but we plan to resume in 2022/23. More info on that coming soon. Please join our malling list to be updated on our call for art.

Artist design their own lighting and supply their own lighting tech for performance, video tech, sound tech and specialty installation technicians. Artists are expected to hang their own art using this as a creative opportunity to show their work as they see fit. We generally show only regional artist within the US North East as artist are expected to deliver, install and deinstall their own work. There is a 3 day period to install and 2 days to deinstall.
