The gallery at the Meridian Building displays art within the lobby and features art in block-length window displays so patrons can peruse local art while walking downtown. Art of any medium is permitted, and most artists show 3-5 pieces, though more is allowed, with up to 22 being previously included; art cannot exceed $2,500.
Several individual artists are featured simultaneously in this space with three months being the average display period for each. Art within the building can be accessed during office hours, and pieces in the window can be viewed 24/7.
