A little over a year ago, Conner Contemporary Gallery announced the closing of their gallery space in North Dupont to start renovations on a new building in Northeast D.C. This Saturday is the inaugural opening of the new space, and DCist got a sneak peak.

From the outside, the simple facade blends in with the neighborhood and gives nothing away of the two gallery spaces, which include 15 foot ceilings, a large courtyard and 8 foot wide hallways. In total, there is 7,000 square feet of gallery space on the first floor. You could probably fit their old space in the back storage area, just to give some perspective of how large it is.
