gallery & artist space
GALLERY & ARTIST SPACE The gallery section in the entrance of the KLANG space will host an exhibition each 2 weeks. Here are some goals and the operational plan for the KLANG GALLERY: 1-) Continuing to provide a balanced program of contemporary and historical exhibitions that inform and excite residents’ and visitors’ knowledge and appreciation of art. 2-) Introducing national and international calibre special exhibitions not previously possible due to limitations of space and lack of funding. 3- ) Engaging Public Programs that will attract new and diverse audiences, enhancing the outreach capacity by creating new partnerships and engaging in new programming opportunities. 4-)Expanding product lines in the KLANG SHOP and increasing sales. 5-) Introducing a modest admission fee to special exhibitions, asking for a modest and reasonable commission from sales of the artworks, and hereby contributing to the financial plan. 6-) Expanding the Gallery’s capability to generate more funding in memberships, donations and sponsorship. 7-) Providing sound financial oversight and management of all operations, thereby preserving the public trust with which the Gallery is given.

Each month we will have a topic/theme/question in focues, around which some of the events, exhibitions and workshops will be oriented.
