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.

Rooted - An Exhibition by Maiya Lonesome
September 16, 2022 - October 13, 2022
OPENING RECEPTION AND ARTIST TALK - September 16, 2022 | 6:00pm - 8:30pm
The act of creation has been a part of Maiya Lonesome’s life for as long as she can remember. A self taught artist, she began drawing at a very young age, though she didn’t start painting until much later on. As a child, Maiya often found herself utilizing her imagination to keep herself entertained, fostering a sense of wonder and playfulness that can still be seen in her work as an artist today.
Join us as Gallery Coordinator Eric Birkin gives a special presentation about our Rooted exhibition, followed by a live interview with the artist Maiya Lonesome. There is no better way to get a behind-the-scenes look into the show and the minds of the artists involved, you won't want to miss it! Artist talk date - Friday, September 16, 2022 from 6:00pm - 7:30 pm in the Hal Gomer Gallery.
The exhibit is on view in the Hal Gomer Gallery from September 16, 2022 - October 13, 2022.
