THE SPACE:
An acquaintance with the gallery’s physical space is relevant in that these spatial parameters present
certain challenges for exhibitions, for community educational programs, and for fundraising, as well as
for the natural growth of the permanent collection. For instance, the potential for a gift shop, an art
rental space, workshop space, an exhibition preparation/dismantling /conservation areas are limited
within the existing gallery space. There is nothing to say that such activities could not occur in satellite
spaces.
The gallery is housed within the architecturally significant Municipal Town Offices, built in 2007
overlooking Lake Temiskaming. The gallery occupies ____% of the total municipal space. Board
meetings are often conducted in Council’s beautiful boardroom. Receptions may spill out into the
spectacular Municipal foyer.
Present Allocation of space:
 Exhibition Space: ____square feet and ______running feet (expandable). With

It would be interesting to include a floorplan………..
