A place where things made by the people are shown

The site is beautiful yet wounded. Once a prominent ship-yard and industrial zone, it enjoys broad water access and sublime views of Nanabijou (The Sleeping Giant) across the bay, but suffers from decades of contamination and estrangement from the daily lives of the public. Ongoing landscape design and revivification of the water’s edge is therefore tightly integrated with the organization and presence of the Gallery. The building is equal parts museum, community center, social hub, and a healing bond between urban life and landscape.
