Hallwalls

Hallwalls is an art center housed in a converted church building on Delaware Avenue with multiple exhibition galleries and spaces for performances. The building contains areas for contemporary art displays, screenings, and live events throughout its interconnected rooms.

The center was founded in 1974 by artists and started in a former ice packing warehouse before moving to its current church building location decades later. This relocation allowed it to expand its programming and reach a wider audience in a larger, more visible space.

The gallery supports emerging and established artists by showcasing their work across multiple spaces dedicated to different forms of expression. You can see how contemporary creators share their ideas through exhibitions, performances, and collaborative projects throughout the building.

Many events offer free admission, making it easy to visit without planning around costs. Check opening hours before your visit since they can change depending on the exhibitions or programs happening that week.

The center regularly hosts drawing events and artist talks that bring visitors face-to-face with creators working in real-time. It also maintains an extensive online archive of recorded cultural events and artist materials that you can explore from anywhere.
