Look Around the Armstrong Gallery
The gallery with nothing in it, so you can see the floor, the columns and the daylight before you picture your own night in here. Drag to look around.
One room, three ways to use it.
The gallery reconfigures around your guest count and your event, without ever leaving the art behind.
Ceremonies
Rows facing the art wall for vows, remarks or a program, with room to flip to cocktail hour right after.
Meetings
An intimate setting for a corporate meeting, a product launch or a screening, with the gallery lighting doing the work a conference room never could.
Receptions
Dessert tables, cocktail spreads and dancing beneath the current show, for a bridal shower, baby shower or private celebration.

What people ask about the gallery.
How many guests does the Armstrong Gallery hold?
The Armstrong Gallery is a 1,400 sq ft gallery that seats up to 86 guests or holds up to 125 standing for a cocktail-style event. Most receptions here run 60 to 80 guests. The fire code allows more than 125, and we hold it at 125 anyway, because a room that feels full and comfortable is a better night than a room that is merely permitted.
Does the Armstrong Gallery have its own entrance?
Yes. The Armstrong Gallery has a private entrance directly from Knowlton Street, so guests do not pass through the rest of the campus to reach it.
Is there real art on the walls during events?
Yes. The Armstrong Gallery is a privately run art space with monthly shows, artist talks and live performances, so whatever show is currently hanging stays on the walls for your event.
What kinds of events fit the Armstrong Gallery?
The Armstrong Gallery suits intimate corporate meetings, cocktail receptions, private celebrations, product launches, screenings, and bridal and baby showers, and it sits minutes from I-95.
