Park Gables Art Gallery at VMRC
Enjoy The Perks Of Living at an Arts Retirement Community
VMRC hosts rotating art exhibitions in the Park Gables Gallery, located on the first floor of Park Gables. With exhibiting space for nearly 100 pieces, the Gallery has elevated VMRC’s status as “an arts retirement community”. The Gallery offers track lighting, pedestals for woodwork, sculptures, and 3D art forms. VMRC and the Park Gables Gallery are known for hosting the resident-led National Juried Art Exhibition each June.
As a proud supporter of the arts, VMRC charges no commission to artists whose pieces are displayed in this annual show.
