Due to the nature of our art exhibits and the design of our space, the gallery is not equipped to accommodate events intended primarily for children.

Securing your desired event date involves three steps: signing a formal agreement, making a 50% down payment of the venue rental fee, and paying a $1,000 refundable security deposit.

We take pride in our open-vendor policy, which allows you to select any vendor that aligns with your event vision, from caterers to florists, without any imposed restrictions.

Since our gallery serves as a commercial art space with regular operating hours, the host and vendors can start their setup process from the contracted “Start Time.” By the time your block starts, all tables, chairs, and tablecloths will be in position for decoration.

We provide a dedicated on-site parking lot, charged at $3 per hour, and there is also an option for on-street parking around the neighborhood.

Candles are allowed but must be enclosed in containers that exceed the height of the flame to catch any potential wax drippings.

We ask that all corporate vendors provide a valid certificate of insurance for the duration of the event.

In order to maintain the pristine condition of our gallery space, all personal items, including décor, food, and party favors, should be removed from the premises by the designated “Vacate By” time mentioned in your contract. We’ve outlined the following comprehensive guidelines to assist you and your vendors in the breakdown and cleanup process:

// All centerpieces, candles, and additional decor must be either removed or properly disposed of offsite.

// Tables and chairs should be folded and stacked in designated areas, ready for pickup or storage.

// All rented items, such as glassware or dinnerware, must be placed back into their original crates for pick-up. Similarly, linens must be bagged and consolidated with other rentals.

// Leftover food items must be removed from the gallery to ensure cleanliness and sanitation.

// All waste materials must be bagged securely and removed from the venue as per the close-of-event procedures.

Our event coordinator and/or vendor staff will take charge of the proper disposal of all trash and recycling items after your event.

Based on extensive experience with various events at the gallery, we’ve found that a minimum block of 5 hours allows for an adequately paced setup and teardown, ensuring a stress-free experience for hosts and vendors alike.

We welcome your creativity but have certain limitations in place to maintain the gallery’s aesthetic quality and to avoid extensive clean-up. Specifically, we prohibit the use of fake flower petals, feathers, rice, glitter, or party confetti. These materials are restricted to ensure the venue remains as pristine as it was prior to your event. Thank you for understanding and cooperating with these limitations.

We are committed to supporting non-profit causes. Therefore, 10% of the rental cost will be credited back to eligible non-profit organizations. Required documentation includes a tax exemption form and a valid 501(c) certificate.

Our cancellation policy is straightforward. In the event of a cancellation, the non-refundable fee can be applied towards a future booking. For cancellations more than 7 calendar days before the event, you receive a 50% refund. For cancellations less than 7 days prior, no refund is issued.

Absolutely, you have the complete freedom to bring your own food or even hire a private chef for your exclusive gathering at Barsky Gallery. Our liberal open-vendor policy grants you the flexibility to select a caterer, employ a personal chef, or even prepare the food yourself. Should you need recommendations for caterers or private chefs, or have specific inquiries regarding culinary arrangements, we are more than happy to assist you.

Absolutely, we are committed to providing an inclusive and accessible environment for all our guests. Barsky Gallery is conveniently located on the ground floor, offering easy access for those with wheelchairs or other mobility requirements. Our goal is to ensure that everyone, regardless of their mobility needs, can fully enjoy the gallery space and the events held here.

Depending on what your event entails, from art showcases to multi-day corporate functions, we can work with you to determine the best way to accommodate your plans over multiple days.
