SPACEMAKERGALLERY.COM IS AN ONLINE COLLECTION OF EXHIBITIONS OF LAND ART AND DESIGN PROJECTS, BOTH CURRENT AND HISTORICAL. WHERE POSSIBLE, THE EXHIBITIONS ARE PRESENTED BY THEIR CREATORS OR RELATED HISTORIANS. WITH FREE ACCESS THE GALLERY IS DESIGNED TO BE PARTICULARLY INTERESTING TO STUDENTS AND RECENT GRADUATES OF LANDSCAPE DESIGN AND ART. IT IS SUPPORTED BY PRACTITIONERS, TEACHERS, AND CLOSELY RELATED CORPORATE SPONSORS.

A NEW SPACE FOR MANY ROADS TO BEAUTY: THE MAKING OF SPACEMAKERGALLERY.COM

THE IDEA FOR AN ONLINE GALLERY GREW FROM A CONVERSATION BETWEEN PETER WALKER AND DAVID MEYER, BOTH OF WHOM HAD INVESTED MONTHS PREPARING COMPLEX EXHIBITIONS THAT WERE LIMITED TO BRIEF MUSEUM RUNS AND MODEST ATTENDANCE IN 2025. REALIZING HOW QUICKLY THEIR WORK DISAPPEARED FROM PUBLIC VIEW, THEY GATHERED A GROUP OF LIKE-MINDED DESIGNERS AND ASKED A SIMPLE QUESTION: "WHAT IF THERE WERE A BETTER WAY TO PRESENT AND PRESERVE THE RESULTS OF DESIGN PRACTICE?" THEY FOUND THAT MANY PEERS—TEACHERS, PRACTITIONERS, STUDENTS, AND EMERGING LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS—FELT THE SAME NEED.

AS A RESULT OF THESE GATHERINGS, SPACEMAKERGALLERY.COM WAS CONCEIVED AS AN ONLINE PLATFORM SHOWCASING NEW AND HISTORICAL PROJECTS, SUPPORTED BY VISUAL AND WRITTEN MATERIAL FROM CREATORS AND HISTORIANS. EXHIBITIONS COULD HOST ONLINE CONVERSATIONS, REMAIN PERMANENTLY ARCHIVED BY YEAR, AND INCLUDE CONDENSED VERSIONS OF PUBLICATIONS, BOOKS, AND LECTURES—ALL FREELY ACCESSIBLE.

AT ITS CORE, THE GALLERY AIMS TO REVEAL THE MANY PATHWAYS TO BEAUTY IN LANDSCAPE ART AND DESIGN, AND TO MAKE THAT RICHNESS AVAILABLE TO A WIDER PUBLIC.
