History
The building was once a restaurant supply store called Douglas Brothers. Calvin College's Art Department first used the space to exhibit paintings and installations as part of a Free Radical Gallery event of December, 2003. From there Calvin worked with Dwelling Place to renovate the building, turning the ground floor and the basement into a gallery, artist studios, video projection room, and office space. The second and third floors house artist live/work spaces operated by Dwelling Place.
The gallery did not have regular hours of operation until January, 2007, when a gallery assistant was hired.
Name
