The Base Gallery is in the basement of the Leedy Voulkos Art Center. It’s tricky to find-​head through the galleries on your right as you enter, head toward the back and make a left. Find the little door and descend into a basement of treasures.
I’ve been to many a basement gallery in my day, and typically they are an afterthought-​poor lighting, crumbling brick that do not hold the art well, and uneven floors that make it impossible to wear heels. As a result, the art shows I’ve seen in them seemed like afterthoughts, too («well, we might as well use this basement for *something.* In New York, business owners shudder at the idea of wasting any usable space and I don’t blame them).
Base Gallery does not fall into this category, thankfully. It’s as bright as a basement can be, with good lighting that seems soft even though it illuminates the art, pristine walls, and a positively cozy feel, as opposed to claustrophobic. You enter and feel like you’re being let in on a secret and I like that.
I will definitely return on my next First Friday stroll.
