Hammerspace Gallery is an artist-run space dedicated to providing new opportunities to emerging artists.

We invite emerging and mid-career artists to exhibit work, while building an inclusive network of support through our artist cohort.

Our Mission…

Hammerspace Gallery redefines the traditional art space by bringing contemporary exhibitions into a residential garage. We are committed to cultivating the evolution of Grand Rapids' contemporary art ecosystem, reimagining the systems that often separate art from the community.

Hammerspace provides a platform for multidisciplinary, installation, and conceptual art, offering mentorship, exhibition opportunities, and a community-driven network to support emerging and mid-career artists in navigating their creative journeys with care, creativity, and sustainability.

Our programming supports parent artists, recognizing the complexities of balancing art and family life. From family-friendly openings to events scheduled around nap times and after-bedtime meetings, Hammerspace creates a space where both art and family can thrive.

We honor the nonlinear process of creation by resisting urgency culture, embracing slowness and allowing the seasons of life to shape our community.
