Just when you thought we were done, we had another trick up our sleeve! We are excited to announce our virtual Web XR platform, accessible all over the world for those who wish to enter from the comfort of their own homes via laptop, cell phone or VR headset from your web browser (Firefox/Chrome). This virtual exhibition space, created by Brian Skalak of REM5, has been digitally simulated to look and feel like our brick-and-mortar.
This opening event will be the beginning of our new virtual gallery space that will live online and serve as an event and meetup location for the foreseeable future. Meet the artists, hang out with your friends and make your way through Gamut Gallery & our back courtyard. Capacity will be around 30 people connected at a time so get in early. If you are late to the party, you’ll be able to wait in a virtual lobby until a spot opens up so don’t leave if we’re full.
Blank Slate is a time for new ideation and beginnings. As many of us have participated in creative, alternate art avenues through live streams, Zoom meetings & Instagram take-overs, we believe the VR world will transcend us to the immersive connections we have been missing. Designing virtual places to gather, discover community & enjoy art is the direction that spaces like ours will be heading.
If you have visited our space before, we cannot wait to get together again in this new innovative virtual experience. Even when this pandemic is over, Gamut’s VR world will continue to be a sister experience to physical art exhibitions moving forward. Please join us for this special inaugural event as we step into the future.[/bscolumns][bscolumns class=”one_half_last_clear”]
