ABOUT PORTER WAREHOUSE:

The Porter Warehouse at West Avenue and Spring Street has been part of Walton Arts Center’s lease since 1992 but never used as a public space due to the structural state of the building. After exterior restoration work by the city of Fayetteville and interior renovations by Walton Arts Center, the space will now be open to the public. 

Walton Arts Center’s $950,000 interior renovation honors the historic character of the warehouse while also creating the Alexander Gallery – a new public gallery space on the Upper Ramble named for Bob and Becky Alexander.

The gallery has more than 2,500 square feet with movable walls to create flexible exhibition spaces. Now refurbished to code and ADA accessible, the space also includes restrooms and gallery support space. The project was led by Polk Stanley Wilcox architects with construction by Sargent Contracting. 

The gallery will be programed by Walton Arts Center and available for partner and community gallery exhibitions.
