GALLERY 2611 is the newest state of the art gallery in the ever-changing and growing downtown Redwood City.  This community is dedicated to bringing culture and visual arts to the forefront of San Mateo County and GALLERY 2611 is helping make that dream come true.  This 3800 square foot space on the first street of business off El Camino Real stands out immediately when you walk in.  You are beamed on by massive skylights and newly installed gallery lighting sparkles across the art on the walls.  The hardwood floors are rustic and give the gallery a warm, homey look.  Light comes in from all directions including a back window that shines on the common area, a space where the artists gather for meetings and meals.  The mezzanine above the back area houses 3 of the artists who overlook the gallery from a balcony  allowing light and vision to travel right through to the street.    The camaraderie between the group is evident as they laugh, create and even play piano and harp while hanging out in their new "digs" and hanging their own as well as outside artists work on their walls.  Personal touches are sprinkled throughout the gallery clearly making it more than just a place to hang art.

The five artists who own and run the gallery saw an opportunity to expand their knowledge and vision of bringing art to the community and collaborated in opening GALLERY 2611.  Celebrating their one year anniversary on April 12th, 2008, they will be featuring new artists, music,  a special stone sculpture showing from Zimbabwe and much more.

The gallery is now involved in fundraisers and art walks bringing more attention and growth to downtown Redwood City.  The space is available to rent for events (see "Calendar and Info" page") and has hosted several receptions for outside artists who are excited about showing their work in this new and inviting space.
