Situated on the southern side of the city, the small art gallery exists onto Dondraek Lane in Vornavis. Designed to host an artist, the gallery has a garden, three display rooms, a studio, and a loft.

Look Door:

The residence is crafted of smooth slate grey stones and fashioned with a copper roof. Somewhat shorter than its neighbors, it has a thin pathway that traverses manicured lawns as it moves between the street and an ebonwood door. Hanging above the door is a large wooden sign maintained with twilight hues and silver script. There appears to be something written on it.

Read: Twilight Gallery

The entrance of the property is inviting, with refreshments for visitors and storage space for them to hang their outerwear. It also has a glass sculpture that illuminates the space.

[Twilight Gallery, Reception]
Graduating from silvery pewter to rich plum, the walls are smooth and unadorned, providing a semi-neutral backdrop to the ornate, blown glass sculptures used to illuminate the space. Several settees in silver-tacked aubergine recline along the western wall where a sterling silver serving cart provides refreshments to visitors, while opposite a brass and oak coat rack provides a tidy place to store garments. Fitted with an ornate stained-glass window, an ebonwood door leads to the streets of Vornavis.
Obvious exits: north

There are two gallery rooms, one for the Visual Arts that houses the new Framed Art script, and one for the tactile arts that has a variety of display cases for housing your crafts.

[Twilight Gallery, Tactile Arts]
Hanging upon the black walls, wooden shadow boxes are illuminated from within by thin rods of glowing blown glass. White pine curios occupy the four corners, their tops covered in large earthen pots of glossy blue and teeming with ivy plants whose gangling limbs are coaxed into tiny hooks that encircle the room at ceiling level. A thin runner of mingled blue and green knotwork leads to an exterior door.
Obvious exits: south

An exterior garden labeled "Art in Motion" is designed to allow the artist to converse in a whimsical setting. While there are chairs, benches, and a fountain, attendants may wish to sit on the lawn in the cushioned grass. There are roses, peonies, and ivy that are pluckable here. The highlight of the space is an ornate bronze statue.

Look Statue:

Crafted entirely of bronze, the statue depicts a child sitting on a lily pad gazing into an open book. Spewing forth from the book is a column of smoke that house a variety of child-like images. Dolls and blocks hover in the air, a unicorn prances around the column with a puppy riding its back, and a knight fights some kind of winged beast with a serpent-like body.

Off the Visual Arts room is a locked entrance to the artist's private quarters where a Studio for creating can be found. The walls of made of slat, which is perfect for using chalk upon and there are snacks for the distracted creator on the table.

[Twilight Gallery, Studio]
Cramped yet tidy, the studio has a solid mahogany floor and slate walls. Honeycomb cubbies are built between the floor and underside of an ascending spiral staircase, the octagonal compartments filled with all manner of supplies, half-finished projects, cups, bowls, and other bric-a-brac associated with the art of creation. A long paint-marred table provides ample room for new creations and has a tall metal-fortified stool set before it. You also see a keyhole-shaped door.
Obvious exits: none

Rounding out the property, the staircase in the Studio leads to the second floor where there is a quaint loft for the distracted artist to rest in.<br.
