An art gallery located in downtown Macon recently relocated from Poplar Street to Cherry Street near the Tubman Museum.
The Ampersand Guild was created about a year and a half ago in 2016, according to the art gallery's director, Daniel Montoute.
It includes a main gallery hall with featured exhibits, a member studio that includes tools and equipment for members to work on projects and a theater.
Montoute says the art gallery was relocated out of necessity as the organization had outgrown the previous space.
The initial owners of the gallery were expecting about 20 members; however, the gallery has grown to 170 members..
"Not only that, I got to get the feedback from the members themselves and hear the things they needed like a better performance stage, more equipment and stuff like that," he added about the relocation.
The Ampersand Guild is now located at 382 Cherry Street and opens from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturdays and by appointment on Sundays. The building is closed each Monday.
