    Considered to be the largest co-op gallery in the southeast, Quayside artists stay busy with featured artist shows in the east wing and an entire downstairs filled with the work of member artists.The mezzanine of the gallery is the location of shrink-wrapped, unframed piece of art. The top floor includes wall and pedestal spaces for the individual artists to hang their work in one location.

     Located in the Historic District of Pensacola, Quayside, (pronounced quay side) was founded in 1973 and was established and maintained by Pensacola Artist, Inc. It was housed eventually in a building constructed in 1873, one block north of the wooden quays or wharves for square rigged sailing ships. The two-story building was headquarters and social center for the Germania Steam Fire Engine and Hose Company. The building remains much as it was when it housed the "Marie Louise," a 2.5 ton horse-drawn pumping engine.

    The gallery is located at 17 Zaragoza Street, across from Plaza Ferdinand. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Details: 438-2363. http://www.quaysidegallery.com/
