Decent exhibit, but it was the front desk staff that made the experience fantastic
This place provided a very good experience for my daughter and I. Understandably, it wasn't huge and there weren't a ton of things to look at, but it was in oasis. The security staff was actually proactive about making the experience a good one. One lovely guard had even explained some of the pieces to us, which was very welcome because not all of the artwork was articulated in a way that caused us to understand the statements the artist was making. Sometimes the curator's report omits information that would clarify the meaning of the artwork. The security guard filled in the blanks for us and that was greatly appreciated. Also an artist had left red carnations for guests to wear as a form of participation in her exhibit. That added a new dynamic to the experience.
Small but a very nice space. The exhibitions on when I was there didn't do too much for me, but that's my problem, not there's. Very polite staff. Great way to spend a couple of hours. And I was very surprised to find out it was free.
