Venue Spotlight

BENTLEY PROJECTS
Downtown Phoenix Venue's Bentley Projects is truly a distinctive event venue. Critically acclaimed, the Gallery is located in the center of downtown Phoenix, just a few blocks south of Chase Field and the new Phoenix Convention Center and features a changing roster of contemporary painting and sculpture by internationally celebrated artists, viewable by appointment only. It is a unique venue unlike any other in the Valley. Once a warehouse, the airy, renovated setting features distinct architectural details such as the original brickwork and soaring ceilings with exposed wood beams. And, of course…. there’s the artwork. Originally a commercial linen laundry dating back to 1918, the renovated warehouse building features distinct architectural details with floating white gallery walls and versatile poured concrete floors. The facility functioned as a laundry until 1999. Then, after extensive renovation including work by the architectural firm Allen+Philp; Bentley Projects formally opened as a gallery and multi use space in 2004. Soon after wards, by popular demand, the gallery began hosting special events for clients looking for a creative and exclusive event venue. The Gallery has over 13,000 square feet of vibrant event space available as your own blank canvas on which to “paint” your event and realize your vision. Whether blacktie sophistication or urban-casual, formal dinner or light cocktail reception, museum-quality art as your backdrop or themed décor, Bentley Projects is the versatile space you are looking for and the perfect venue at which to hold your event and create a memorable, one of a kind evening. Whether your event is for 50 or 1200 guests, this ADA accessible facility can transform to fit your individual needs, personal-ity, budget and vision.
