Biographical / Historical

The 500X Gallery, established in 1978, is an alternative space with a decided interest in experimental possibilities of the visual arts. Over the years the Gallery established itself as one of the most artistically courageous spaces available. 500X has provided a starting point for many, as well as an opportunity for the artist to present his or her ideas uninhibited by traditional standards.

The 500X Gallery is a cooperative organization, with new members selected democratically by the current members. (Thank you statement, 1998)
