Reference Room in the Dale Mabry Campus Learning Resource Center. Located just outside the main gallery, this 30-foot wall is situated in a well-trafficked student study area. It is best suited for small-scale solo exhibitions (particularly 2D art) and is available during the academic year (fall and spring semesters). While some 3D work can be accepted in this space, capacity is limited.
Gallery114 Ybor City Campus. A large, flexible gallery space located in the college’s Performing Arts Building, Gallery114 is ideal for group exhibitions and larger installations. The space features more than 80 feet of combined wall space and ceiling heights ranging from 8 to over 20 feet. Pop-up exhibitions at Gallery114 are available during the summer semester only.
