YWCA Black Branch Exhibit at the Chapel Gallery
The YWCA Kimerling Chapel Gallery for Visual and Performing Arts was opened in 1999 after renovations to the original 1948 chapel. During the 1950’s and 1960’s, residents at the YW attended church services in the chapel on Sunday mornings. Today, the YW encourages its clients to mix with other downtown residents by attending services at the churches or synagogues of their choice.
The architecture of the Kimerling Chapel Gallery is stunning. A dramatic arched ceiling, curved staircase with custom metal handrails, gleaming hardwood floors and beautiful chandeliers accent the space.
The chapel’s original ambo and raised stage were left in place at one end of the large room.
Art Patrons Enjoy Photography Show at Chapel Gallery
A custom designed quilt piece resembling a stained glass window graces the stage area. The addition of custom lighting and sound system makes the Kimerling Chapel Gallery a perfect space for visual and performing arts.
Throughout the year, the Kimerling Chapel Gallery is used for art shows, children’s events, musical and arts performances, luncheons, dinners, and other special events.
The Kimerling Chapel Gallery is available for rent on a limited basis for special events. Please contact the Kimerling Chapel Gallery for additional information. |
