the concept...
More than a traditional gallery, a space embracing the American tradition of creativity with openness, community, social awareness & artistic exploration ……
A Cultural center open to all.
A "home away from home" for Americans and for anyone seeking to discuss, discover and enjoy art in all its diversity.
Redefining "gallery"
Music, dance, theater, poetry, fillm, photography, painting, performance ...
Presenting the world of art, culture and politics which could only be discovered by going beyond the codes of traditional vernisages and art exhibits.
Socio-political Engagement
Politics, Environment, Civil Rights, Prison, Women's Rights... Dorothy's vision was to bring awareness of contemporary issues as well as discover the traditions and history of many different countries.
