HAL GOMER GALLERY AND GALLERY 194
Chesapeake Arts Center has two professional gallery spaces — the Hal Gomer Gallery and Gallery 194 — as well as display spaces in hallways and in the Hammonds Lane Theater lobby. Renovated in 2015, Chesapeake Arts Center renamed its gallery closest to the main entrance after the beloved late artist and former Brooklyn Park High School art teacher, Thomas Hal Gomer. The gallery has two adjoining sections, room 1 is 374 square feet and the 2nd room is 363 square feet.
Located adjacent to the Hal Gomer Gallery is Gallery 194 (working name) which was constructed in Spring 2022 when CAC office space was renovated into a new 800 square foot gallery. Funds to create this gallery were provided by the Maryland Heritage Area Authority.
