Melt Gallery also has its FORMAT Project Gallery, run and maintained by curator and art installer Vanessa B. Rieger in part with the Melt Studios team, website, and social media accounts.

FORMAT’s mandate is to showcase and highlight artworks that explore the boundaries of art installation, audio/visual arts and art beyond the 2D realms. Such works could include sculpture installation, video art/documentation, and mural installations. 

FORMAT Gallery understands the nature of these mediums and works to provide artists the opportunity to exhibit their work free from the pressures of commodification. While artists are encouraged to exhibit artworks and editions that can be for sale, it is not mandatory to exhibit in this gallery.

The FORMAT Project Gallery rental agreements come with various fee options so that fees can be tailored to the artist’s means to make accessibility a priority. For inquiries about project room rental fees and agreements please email info@meltstudiogallery.com with the subject line FORMAT GALLERY.
