The
Lansing Art Gallery will be relocating from its 113 South Washington Square location to a larger, more accessible space at 119 N. Washington Square, after its Board of Directors voted unanimously for this next step in the 45-year-old organization’s evolution.
The new space will be the lower level of 119 N. Washington and has elevator access for the public as well as a freight elevator for artists. The Lansing Art Gallery’s new home will also have a classroom space to support additional arts education, which was also viewed as an important reason for the relocation.
“I am excited about the new location. Lansing Art Gallery provides exceptional programs to the community, introducing the visual arts to thousands each year,” says executive director, Catherine Babcock. “Its mission — to provide public awareness, education and enjoyment of the visual arts by promoting the works of Michigan artists — depends on ease of access for all.”
The Lansing Art Gallery will relocate to its new space in Jan. 2011.
