Mana Contemporary hosted a fashion show and my designs were showcased on the runway. I had enough time to have a look around before i started setting up for the show.The space is huge with different sections and work of art to see. The team behind the event especially Martu were warm, patient and professional all through my day at the space.

Mana is a wonderland of arts- beautiful warehouse exterior with clean white-wall-loft interiors. I’ve visited for arts talks and open houses and there is always much left to discover when I have to head out the doors. There is free parking and very close the JSQ path which makes visiting very quick and painless.

Mana isn't a museum; it's a complete art institution and community with local artist studios, art foundations displaying curated art including some Warhols, sculptures, the Richard Meier Model Museum, and much more.They periodically hold open houses which is the best opportunity to spend an afternoon exploring.Free parking in a big lot. They just opened a cafe in the lobby as well.

Mana is a well appointed studio space with a highly professional staff and a convenient location somewhat close to public transportation and interstate roads.

This was an interesting place. It has many galleries and unique art. It was an amazing experience. I really loved the fluorescent lighting exhibit because it had many illusions, such as the round lights. Even though it looks white if you take a picture it turns orange!

Beautiful gallery! Went for Lost in the Art event recently and it was such an amazing experience. Staff was professional, the gallery itself was gorgeous, and overall just a wonderful place.

I hope you can expand your programming for the public to enjoy. Every time I check the events calendar there are no events scheduled. The tours take place Tuesday through Friday at 3pm. This is generally an inconvenient time. I did go to one event here that was fun and interesting, and I would like to go to more, so it is disappointing that there seems to be nothing on the calendar for the public to attend.

Great modern art in a multi useful building. The staff are friendly and resourceful. This building is tucked out of the way and seems to be going under renovations. Should surely be a wonderful home to new culture and art as it flourishes. Glad to have been able to see it live

A remarkable art space. More a working studio facility than an art gallery. Still has some impressive shows and gallery spaces. Worth a visit.

PROS:- FREE entrance! FREE parking! - offers 1 hour guided tours almost daily - all tours are free- quality works of art- variety of art and artists- easy to navigate rooms- tour guides are knowledgeable- large housing/studio space for up and coming artists- free parkingCONS:- can only view art through private tours- hard to navigate outside or at parking areas, no signs anywhere - art is displayed in several closed rooms that are not near each other - have to book private tour (max 8 people) to view art- tour guide has to lock and unlock each room as as we enter and leave- outside surrounding area can look sketchy if you don't know where you are going or get lostPRO TIP: really nice idea for date and then can go somewhere nice locally to eat or a cafe spotI liked this place, I only wish it had more of an open concept where you are able to navigate around on your own. To view the art you have to sign up for a touring time and time slots sell out pretty quickly (hard to get same day time slots). The whole thing consists of eight warehouse spaces where the art are on display. It takes about an hour to navigate through the eight rooms spread out between two floors. Your tour guide will escort you to each room and give a brief description and background of the art and artist. If you are into art, you will definitely like this place. Our tour guide was very nice and answered all our questions. While it is nice to have a private tour guide, it kind of takes away from viewing and absorbing the art in a more organic way.

I came here recently as part of JCAST 2022. Even though many studios were closed, there was still lots of art to see. I definitely want to come here again, but hopefully the weather will be better!

It’s nice but it is an area tough to reach and they don’t do enough to include the community on a regular basis. Also the cafe there has so much potential but it falls short
