The Gallery
Museum, Delmar Concert Hall, and Juxtapose Art Gallery: Often shortened to "The Gallery", The building and surrounding area are simultaneously a modern masterpiece and learning studio for the up and coming artist of all walks of life. It houses collections from various underground and unknown artist while showcasing their work as well as occasionally finding buyers and patrons for the artist(s). Largely the museum stays afloat via donations and city funds, most often it is seen as being a way for several foundations to "give back" to the community and thus has been a very long and very proud history in the city since the art movements of the 1970s.
Collection: That Which is I: Though housed at The Gallery, it is a special collection that is only brought out during and for Kindred events. Often only at the request of vip guests. Several of the works have been bought and traded among Kindred society, the most notable one has been the Portrait of Lilith, a modernity painting showcasing the "Dark Mother" in more of a shadowed vail of dark luster and unsettling eyes. Rumors have it that he also has portraits of other known kindred as well as legendary figures.
Collection: Mummers: Off to the side of the main Museum and Gallery sits a park with a stage. It is here that the modern Mummers (a collection of street musicians and up and coming garage bands) are allowed to play and get their voice and music out there. Most often the Mummers are allowed radio time, interviews, and during the summer and tourist seasons shows every night to push their sound and words. Often during the days or afternoons you can find spoken word artist and poets filling the park with their dreams.
Collection: Artist Unknown: While a few of them are at The Gallery, most of the collections and artworks done by the Artist are lost to time and the fog of memory. These works have been referred to as "Artist Unknown". Even the public has seen a few here and there, most pass them by without known what they've seen. While others hunt them down for their collections of rare and hidden values. It is more than possible that one or two of these have made their way into the hands of other characters from all over.
Juxtapose Academy
Since the art movements of the 1970s, The Artist has felt tied to modern art. The Academy is a once pet project turned institution for Art and Higher learning. Many students find their way here in order to learn from various styles and influences. It is as much a gathering for mortals as it is a collection of supernatural that share a passion for Art in every form. And, like the mortal side that cares not where the artist comes from, they focus on the art that is inherit in life. Many of them have mastered one style or another and often use it as a means to influence the world around them. At times the Academy members have been called upon to help cover the masquerade or set up gatherings. Often it is a place where interested parties can come find an artist looking for work.
