Guests mingle beneath hanging greenery in a bright gallery space during a private event at LBIF.

The Main Gallery

The Main Gallery features a vaulted 20-foot ceiling, natural light, and rotating contemporary art exhibitions. The open, hangar-style space accommodates up to 150 guests for seated dinners, 308 for seated programs, or 432 standing, offering a sophisticated yet flexible setting that can be transformed into your dream event or reception.

Marine Sciences Building

Home to our Nature Studies and Marine Science camps, this former bayside house offers a unique, nature-inspired setting. Overlooking the marshlands, its bay-facing deck hosts weekend yoga from May through September and transforms beautifully into a relaxed cocktail lounge for private events.

The Blai Room

This space is a smaller gallery room off the main gallery. A special rolling shade closes a window between the gallery space and the food studio kitchen next door. It is often used for classes, presentations, lectures, small film screenings, catering, and concessions.

The Painter's Loft

This lovely space sits on top the back of the main building. The room offers big windows and beautiful views across our 22 acres of protected wetlands. It’s the perfect spot for figure drawing on summer Fridays, for our Friday night Cocktail’s and Canvas sessions, and for smaller life event showers or birthday parties. The attached deck is used for yoga Mon-Fri mornings all summer, and has served as the setting for lovely sunset-viewing cocktails at many receptions and events.
