Welcome

UPDATE AS OF FEBRUARY 10th, 2022 – NYS Governor Kathy Hochul has lifted the mask mandate in the state, and it has also been lifted in Erie County. Please read this info HERE.

We will no longer be asking guests to the gallery for their proof of full vaccination, unless there is a need that arises again to do so (we are hoping and optimistic that the Omicron cases continue to decline).

Our staff at the Gallery and Lounge are fully vaccinated (and boosted!), we believe in the science, encourage that everyone get vaccinated, and are supportive of our guests who wish to continue to wear masks. 

PREVIOUS UPDATES: 

As of August 2021, the number of Delta variant cases is rapidly spiking in our county; please note on each individual event page, that – temporarily – everyone entering Revolution Gallery must be vaccinated, and present proof of vaccination either with a card and ID, or Excelsior Pass on their phone. Vaccinated guests have the option to wear a mask, depending on each guest / performer’s personal comfort levels.

Revolution Gallery and Lounge is a dream project that we have invested so much of ourselves, and it’s a space we are overjoyed to share with each person who has walked through our doors. Our hope is that everyone understands the hardships small businesses / venues faced over the last year and a half. The struggle to stay open continued with limited capacity and restrictions to events and hours of operation, and loss of staff. We deeply appreciated and valued the community support then, and we are hoping for it now. It is imperative we take these temporary measures to keep our Gallery and Lounge open, and to keep our staff, guests, artist performers, and community safe. We truly thank each of you for everything.

As of June 2021, all guests are able to move freely about the gallery without masks, or proof of vaccination. It is determined by NYS and the CDC that each private business may determine their own guidelines. Each guest may wear masks per their personal comfort levels.

PREVIOUS UPDATES:

The NYS Regulations and Requirements during this Covid19 Pandemic may be read and followed on both RevolutionGalleryLounge.com, and RevolutionArtGallery.com.

The experience may be a bit different than in the past, but we are happy to have welcomed visitors / customers / patrons to Revolution Gallery when our Patio Seating opened on Friday, June 19th. We have a solid protocol for our employees, and guidelines our guests are required to follow.
These are done to minimize risk, and to protect and keep everyone safe.

Revolution Gallery opened their doors to invite guests inside on Thursday, July 16th at noon; since this date, and to keep all guests safe, we are limiting the amount of visitors to view the artwork inside, and it is required that everyone entering the gallery MUST PROPERLY WEAR A MASK (nose and chin covered). The public is required to use the hand sanitizer offered to them by a gallery staff member. Please make sure to read the guidelines here on our website, and posted around the gallery, to ensure safety for yourselves, other visitors, and our Revolution Gallery and Lounge staff.
