Seating Recommendations and Charts

Capacity details aren’t published for the May Gallery at Vilar Performing Arts Center, but the venue features an open 2,000-square-foot layout typically designed for standing exhibitions, with seating brought in for select programs. Because it’s an open-plan gallery, a traditional May Gallery at Vilar Performing Arts Center seating chart doesn’t apply; configurations can change depending on the exhibition or event.

• Open Gallery Floor: During exhibitions and receptions, the open floor maximizes flow between artworks. Arrive early for the most relaxed viewing experience and easy access to featured pieces.
• Perimeter Exhibit Walls: If you prefer a slower pace, start along the perimeter walls to engage with works away from the center activity before moving inward.
• Pop-up Seating for Talks/Events: For artist talks or special programs, temporary seating may be arranged. Check your event listing for details—when seats are offered, front rows typically provide the best sightlines for speakers and installations.

Use Ticket Purchase’ interactive seating chart to view live seat availability, compare prices, and choose the section that fits your experience when reserved seating is provided for special programs.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

May Gallery at Vilar Performing Arts Center

68 Avondale Lane

Avon, CO 81620

The gallery sits within Beaver Creek Village—about 10 miles west of Vail—making it an easy cultural stop before or after time on the mountain.

• Parking: Park in the Beaver Creek Village parking structures; parking is free after 5 PM and on weekends during non-peak seasons. During peak ski season, expect paid parking and a short walk to the venue.
• Public Transit: Beaver Creek Village is served by local shuttle buses connecting to Avon and Vail.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup/drop-off zones are available in Beaver Creek Village near the main entrances.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 30–45 minutes early. This gives you time to park, ride the Beaver Creek shuttle if needed, and explore the May Gallery before the event begins. During peak seasons, parking can fill quickly—building in extra time helps you settle in and enjoy the art at your own pace.

While the gallery is indoors, winter weather can affect travel to Beaver Creek. Allow additional time when roads are snowy and wear shoes suitable for walking around the village. Beaver Creek Village sits at roughly 8,100 feet of elevation; if you’re sensitive to altitude, hydrate and take it slow on your walk from the parking structures.

If you’re coordinating with a group, choose a meeting point in advance—such as the Vilar PAC lobby—so everyone can connect before stepping into the gallery. Shuttles run frequently in the village; they’re a great option if you’d prefer to avoid the short uphill or downhill walks between parking and the venue.

Venue Navigation

The May Gallery is an easy-to-navigate, 2,000-square-foot space designed for visual art. Its open floor plan and modern lighting support a comfortable flow, whether you’re browsing solo or mingling during an opening. As part of the Vilar Performing Arts Center complex, you’ll find restrooms, ATMs, guest services, and the main theater lobby just steps away.

Concessions may be available in the Vilar PAC lobby during performances, and some gallery openings feature local wine or refreshments. If your event includes a talk or performance element, staff can direct you to temporary seating or the appropriate gathering area. Comfortable footwear is recommended for walking around Beaver Creek Village and standing during receptions.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.

• Plan for altitude—hydrate and take breaks as needed.
• If visiting in winter, allow extra travel time and wear traction-friendly footwear.

Pre-Event Planning

Make the most of your visit by pairing a gallery stop with a show in the Vilar Performing Arts Center’s 530-seat main theater. Many exhibitions and receptions align with broader Vilar PAC programming, so you can turn a single ticketed event into an art-forward evening—start with the gallery and transition to a performance.

If you’re arriving early or attending with friends, schedule time to explore Beaver Creek Village before or after your event. The gallery’s central location makes it easy to grab dinner nearby, snap photos around the plaza, and loop back for the exhibition or reception. For groups, pick a clear meeting spot like the Vilar PAC lobby or a nearby restaurant to regroup seamlessly.

Finally, watch the event calendar for special receptions or “Live in the May Gallery” happenings. Coordinating around May Gallery at Vilar Performing Arts Center upcoming events lets you experience the space at its most vibrant, with interactive programming and opportunities to connect with fellow art lovers.
