Exhibition statement We are a mechanical contractor. We are an unusual type of venue. As Service Contractors what do we know about art? We know we are looking for a fabulous outdoor feature piece. We have room for 6 to 8 indoor pieces depending on the size. We can customize our space to accommodate a piece of Art or an Artists Vision. In the past we have installed a billboard on our building naming the artists displayed at our venue. THIS YEAR WE HAVE ALREADY RESERVED A BILLBOARD ON I-196 WHICH WILL DISPLAY OUR ARTISTS NAME. Every guest is treated special and is given info about your piece. We have onsite parking and are handicap accessible.

Visitor considerations

Venue description We are an unusual choice for a venue. But we have done this since the beginning and you visitors love our artwork. We have provided great art. We give each visitor information and make them feel special. We have onsite parking and are handicap accessible. Each year we have more venues in our area to make it worth the trip. This year they changed the rules and now each neighborhood can have their own top 25. We are confident that the westside is the best side. We would love for you to come and experience the comfortable feel of our venue. We stay open the entire time that Artprize is going on. We intend to have a special evening for the artists and the guests. We hope that you will help us in voting on one or more of the top 25 in our venue. Each year you have said that we have great art. Now you can make it happen for us to have one of the top 25. We look forward to you coming in and checking us out. We love your input.
