Play/List is on view through September 4, 2015. More details.

Shows represent the diverse cross-section of local and international, professional and emerging artists, producing contemporary art in a variety of media. The artist run gallery mounts inclusive shows presenting a multitude of viewpoints.The Midway Channel Gallery also runs an integrated performance and visual art space, Art Under The Stairs, located on the gallery's lower level.

Art & Music Tonight in Fort Point

The Midway Channel Gallery presents the "Changing Faces of Fort Point," an exhibition running through April 30, 2014. "Changing Faces of Fort Point" shows reaction to the decades long redevelopment of a former warehouse district by the artists who live there. The exhibition serves to join the historical context with the contemporary viewpoint by creating a bridge through art. The exhibit illustrates not only the visual changes to the urban landscape, but also the transformation and reincorporation of early industrial materials in new ways.

Gallery 14 presents "Big Dig Nostalgia" running through April 29, 2014. 
It has been ten years since the Big Dig departed from our neighborhood, and some of us look back with nostalgia to the time when Fort Point was still "owned" by the artists and were stimulated every day by the muscular art of civil engineering as it took place around us. Our building at 249 A Street was literally "touched" by the Big Dig. Some of us are still processing the images and the experience. 

Rebecca Leviss Dwyer, Don Eyles (curator), Anton Grassl, Dan Osterman, Lenore Tenenblatt, Nan Tull, George Vasquez, and Valda Zalkalns. 

Opening Night:  Thursday, April 10, 2014 6:00 - 8:00 pm.
