Contemporary Art Galleries
Is a Step We Make
Is a Work of Art
and Handcrafted at Bayo Park & Galleries
on Our 10 Acre Park.
Build with Bayo.
We are designing and building unique contemporary art galleries in Iowa hand-built on our ten acre grounds at Bayo Park & Galleries. Over the past twenty years of our artistic presence in the state of Iowa, from running a unique community-involved art gallery in downtown Iowa City to presenting one-of-a-kind art installations at various art fairs/events, Bayo is the premiere art destination and art business in the State of Iowa.
Each exhibition space currently being designed and constructed on our 10-acre grounds is exquisitely designed as a sculptural structure to house our collectible art objects. Hand-crafted using various art practices and skills, our structures are masterfully engineered and erected as monumental spaces conceived for individual objects as permanent displays and to showcase our collectibles.
At Bayo Park & Galleries, we are redefining the concept of art gallery and display wall. The art gallery and wall are also a work of art, an object of performance. To us, we create space as an object to interact with other objects – audiences. We have utilized our unique artistry over the past twenty years to address issues of great significance to our family, community, state, nation, and world with the goal of creating a positive impact for all. In fact, all our art forms we employ are tools for greater humanity.
Iowa's premiere Contemporary Art Galleries
on a 10 acre park
The process of creating each gallery structure at Bayo Park & Galleries is artful and performative in every stage of development. The galleries are designed site specific and relate to space – including ground formations, natural elements like trees and vegetation, and weather elements like wind flow, water, and sun/moon light.
We find artfulness in designing, creating and crafting the structural elements to our gallery spaces, and often have digitally documented these processes. It could be the grain of the wood, patterns created by cut-offs and negative spaces, or the formation of metal joiners to hold structure – there is so much artistry that we have discovered and employed in every step of our gallery-build process.
Each exhibition/gallery site is under various stages of development and construction. Our current gallery spaces include KQ, Spidey, Gbariye, a stage and grill.
