PHASE II

Renovations/Repurposing Project
2021-2025

Somewhere something incredible is waiting to be known!

Definitely Superior Art Gallery is excited to announce the inception of our next expansion project as we begin Phase II, looking forward to a progressive future for our art cluster, involves the development of the adjacent, approx. 2,000 sq.ft former Cinema 3 space for further artistic / performance / event / fundraising opportunities. The development would include a dedicated members / curatorial and collective / community exhibition and performance space,  including a new Luna MicroCinema with a mezzanine interior walkout overlooking what would be the newly renovated Gallery / Performance space, inclusive of lakeside accessibility and more voluminous 18 ft ceilings. [capital fundraising campaign Build DefSup/funding grants]. As a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary platform, the new Definitely Superior Art Gallery is an extension of the evolving cultural landscape, in its most raw and honest form and will reopen its completely new repurposed /renovated and expanded facility within the Cumberland Cinema 5 Theatre Complex in fall 2025, with a lively celebration featuring the opening of its inaugural exhibitions.
The new Definitely Superior Art Gallery is concluding its Phase I completion, winter 2024, noting the most current updates and renovations, as well work completed by the building owners/anchor sponsors.
