From 2004-2009, Red Door served as an alternative gallery space focused on exhibiting the work of new and emerging artists using a variety of mediums in meaningful, interesting, inspiring and thought provoking ways.
The gallery concept was simple. Accessibility. Everyone was welcome to come and relax, converse and most of all spend some time and enjoy the work on exhibition. We created an atmosphere that encouragesd interesting and meaningful dialogue via the interaction between artists, their work, and ideas about how art can influence, direct, analyze, and be a catalyst for change. We created a warm and inviting atmosphere that gave our visitors a unique alternative to the sometimes cold and uninviting traditional gallery space.
As part of our yearly schedule of activities, we will held artists receptions, workshops, seminars, and interactive experiences designed to foster a stimulating environment for positive dialogue focussing on cultural enrichment through the arts.
