Longview specializes in contemporary art by emerging and midcareer artists, including many from the region. The room, with its peeling paint and exposed ducting, is the perfect backdrop for edgy exhibitions of photos, paintings, multimedia works and paper art. Exhibitions change monthly, but check before heading out, as the gallery is used for private events and sometimes closes to the public.
