Angels Gate Cultural Center galleries are a place for discovery and wonder. The three galleries, located inside Building A, promote cross-cultural and cross-generational understanding by using the Arts to provide new perspectives and insights that enrich our lives. The galleries collectively operate under a yearly theme from which artists, designers and performers are selected to interpret, and thus create fresh and innovative programming that is unique within the South Bay and Harbor region.

Throughout the year the galleries provide visitors with an opportunity to understand a specific topic from a horizon of different perspectives ranging from large exhibitions to commissioned solo projects to solicited community work. The Main Gallery features large group exhibitions, extensive in scope, that explore those themes investigated throughout the year. The Project Space is a smaller gallery that focuses on solo projects that are in sync with the conceptual framework of the year and allow the viewer a nuanced understanding on a particular point of view. The Community Gallery, a collaboration between the Education and Visual Arts Directors, aims to break down the formal divisions between viewer and curator by providing the greater community with an opportunity to actively participate in the exhibition through the solicitation of art work, objects, and advice. The gallery exhibitions are primarily ongoing thus providing a rare space in the gallery where the visitor's interaction with and contribution to the exhibit is pivotal to its success.
In addition to the galleries, Angels Gate Cultural Center has a Community Room for meetings, classes and lectures. The space features work from the Artists in Classroom program as well as our Studio Artists and aims to highlight the diversity of work produced on and off site.
