CCA Gallery Interest Group Survey

Gallery Interest Group Survey

We are opening the books! The Columbia Center for the Arts art gallery is now available to rent for individual artists, groups or teams of artists, arts organizations and traveling exhibitions. We want to understand better how the space might be utilized to mount shows, host events, and continue to provide immersive arts experiences with a more open and accessible process.

Please answer the following questions and share your thoughts and vision for how you might use the space for your art. Multiple responses are okay – you can submit more than one idea.

We want to know -
WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF THE SPACE WAS ALL YOURS?
