Kinetic Sculpture Gallery Project
Spring / Summer 2012

I am in the process of purchasing this building for a Kinetic Art Gallery and studio in the town of Bethlehem NH. Presently the building is being used as a karate studio. The history dates back to 1877 when the building was build for a Congregational Church, in 1940 the Independent Order of Odd Fellows purchased the building and used it until 1997. Since then it has been used as a karate and martial arts studio.

The building has over 4,000 sq.ft of space perfect for displaying kinetic art, 1,700 sq.ft. has a ceiling of over 20 feet, it is warm and inviting, even in winter. To make the project work, I would create two or three areas in the building that would also house "artistic" type stores, the main open area of about 1,700 sq.ft. would be for displaying and selling art that was kinetic or wire sculpture in nature. I would also have one or two areas on that floor for an active working shop for an artist/sculpturor to work.

Also in considerations is having a cafe and a sculpture garden

If you have suggestions, ideas or would like to be a part of the project please contact me either by phone or email. Phil
