  At the time of my visit this gallery consisted of a single room, probably 20' x 20', with a couple of framed quotes of poetry, an art display of what appeared to be semi-burned driftwood, a couple of pieces of art on the floor, and two very long tapestry-like pieces depicting waterfalls - one in each side of the room, flowing down opposing walls from the ceiling and almost touching each other on the floor in the center. All-in-all it'll take you 15 minutes tops to stop in and see this, but it was quite nice, so it's easy to recommend. The gallery next door at 709 Penn consisted of a darkened room and a very large screen made of stretched opaque plastic, a projector behind it, and incredibly haunting - almost disturbing - music playing to what I was told a two-hour long movie/video of 'I don't know what the heck it was'. I stayed for about 15 minutes as there is nowhere to sit, and the distance between the black-out curtain and the screen can be measured in mere feet. Also worth a visit, just don't expect much.
