The Annex is a beautiful new event center that also provides additional exhibit facilities for Space Gallery (which is ten blocks away at 4th and Santa Fe).
Michael Burnett took a very tired, 1960s cinder block warehouse, cleaned up the interior (exposing a beautiful fir ceiling), built a new, salvaged brick facade, and turned it into an elegant new space. There's a little lobby with a ninety degree turn so drafts don't blow in, a large central, multipurpose room, an expansive restroom area, a bar and outside patio (secluded between two buildings), and a rooftop deck.
This is an excellent space to display art and seems like it will be a flexible space for many types of events. The main room is 3,000 square feet. The ground-level patio/sculpture garden is 2,000 square feet. There's a catering prep room, the indoor/outdoor bar, four restrooms, and a green room plus the rooftop space. There is a small parking area and lots of free, street parking. read more
