Members Exhibition Artists Talks playlist now on YouTube!

For the forty-sixth time in its forty-six year history, Hallwalls presents an exhibition of artwork by current members of the organization. All members were invited to participate and, despite our pandemic era, 168 artists provided work for the exhibition—the second-largest Members Exhibition in our history. As we have done for the past several years, a series of Curators' Favorites Awards were bestowed on select works (see below). Media in this year's exhibition include painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, embroidery, and video work.

SAFETY PROTOCOLS FOR GALLERY VISITORS: For the first time since February 28th, Hallwalls Gallery reopened for in-person visitors commencing Tuesday, July 7th, in accordance with NYS and Erie County guidelines for Phase 4 reopening of low-density art venues. We had missed you all, and were happy to see you again in person, eye-to-eye, even chatting from six feet away and behind our masks.

As of 12/1/20 we remain open. Gallery hours, as always, are Tuesday–Friday 11:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m., Saturday 11:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m., and admission to the gallery is, as always, free of charge.

We will have 2 or 3 employees working per shift (< 50%), with one (wearing a mask) always stationed at a table in the lobby just outside the gallery, greeting visitors and monitoring safety protocols (including signing in for purposes of possible contact tracing). ALL VISITORS MUST WEAR A MASK UPON ENTERING THE LOBBY AND THROUGHOUT THEIR VISIT, OR WILL BE POLITELY REFUSED ENTRY. We have purchased and installed a locally handcrafted no-touch hand sanitizer dispenser in the lobby. Generally speaking, it is rare that more visitors arrive at any one time during gallery hours than can be safely accommodated, but if they do, the Hallwalls employee at the door will limit entry to ensure safe physical distancing.
