WORK Gallery: WORK is an artist run organization on a mission to provide an intimate setting for the exhibition and performance of the arts. Together, WORK and our artists exchange and impart ideas democratically, seeking to utilize the space in the dissolution of barriers. In a time and place where many are searching for more, bigger, and more expansive, WORK is committed to bringing important matters of culture into close circles, for critical discussion and reflection. As both compliment and alternative to the heavy industry of its immediate neighbors, WORK endeavors to conscientiously provide itself as a conveyance for artistic labors
