[loving neighbors] XYZ Gallery

Jan 08, 2010 15:47




This is Feliciano's personal art gallery, his playground, and practically his second home. He uses it to showcase his own personal work (the stuff that's not on tour in other galleries anyhow), the work of his friends, and pieces from his own personal collection (AKA the stuff that wouldn't fit in his house).

The gallery itself is a two-story building that sits on the corner of two busy streets in the arts district downtown, nestled amongst several other privately-owned art galleries, the theater, and several upscale restaurants and bistros.

Interior:

The gallery has two floors, with several larger rooms connected by wide hallways with benches lined up in the center of each room and hallway. The bottom floor is reserved for pieces from Feli's personal collection and visiting artists.



The front lobby is white and pristine, with a front desk with loads of pamphlets and gallery cards about the work on display. Several plush chairs, in purples, yellows, and greens lay around haphazardly about low tables that are strewn with magazines with the latest in art and design.

It is also host to a permanent fixture, a tad whimsical and seeming completely at home amongst the multi-colored chairs and couches.



(though the sculpture is real balloons, the one in Feli's just looks to be made of real balloons)

The upper floor consists of one room facing the street, this room showcasing Feliciano's personal work. Sometimes, the benches are dragged out of the building and an elaborate dining set will be brought in, for special occasions such as opening dinners and thanking patrons.

The back of the upper floor consists of a lounge/office combination, that looks an awful lot like Feli's house in its cluttered nonsense. However, the floor is light hardwood and the lounge unpictured is flooded with natural light from glass windows situated near the ceiling.



And there you have it!

More will come as the rp goes on.
