Gallery Space
Located at 210 Princess St. in Winnipeg, MB, the 210 Gallery offers an exceptional opportunity for artists from rural and Northern Manitoba to showcase their talent. With its spacious, open layout and a street-facing wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, the gallery provides a bright and inviting atmosphere. The freshly painted white walls, Heritage tin ceiling, and exposed ductwork lend a modern, industrial charm that complements a variety of artistic styles. The space is also well-suited for performance art, dance, or music to enhance opening receptions.
Featuring three distinct display walls, the gallery is thoughtfully designed to highlight your artistic vision. The 571 square-foot area, paired with the innovative Lee Valley Cliprail Picture-Hanging System, ensures your work is presented with flexibility and precision, whether in Gallery Style or Salon Style.
The Textile and Fibre Artists of Manitoba were honoured to be the inaugural group to exhibit at the Manitoba Arts Network’s fabulous new space on Princess Street. Kait, Nicole and Rose-Anne were a delight to work with, and very helpful in terms of opportunities, support, ideas and even a bit of grunt work! Through the First Friday Artist Talk presentations and the visual impact of the exhibits, TFAM was thrilled with the way our fibre art pieces for both Shifting Perspective and JOY conveyed each of their unique stories and inspirations.
The total space of the gallery is 571.5 FT2
