39^th Street Gallery and the Gateway arts center presents an exhibition that explores the peculiar ways in which sense of space and sense of place are linked together.

Each artist works in a traditional medium but uses that medium atypically in order to present a particular concept of spatiality and of place. While they are linked to one another by their desire to show something deeper and more complex than the straightforward visual appearance of their subjects, all have a distinct and nuanced vision that enriches and complements the others.

The Gateway Arts Center at Brentwood is a new visual arts center located at 3901 Rhode Island Ave., Brentwood, MD. Gateway Arts Center is a vibrant arts center that not only provides visual artists with a functional and safe work space, but an Arts Center that encourages programming that engages the neighboring community and the other artists in the Gateway Arts District.
