Critical Line was a contemporary art exhibition center that opened 5 May 2006 in the St. Helens section of Tacoma, Washington.[1][2] The 1,800-foot redesigned gallery space specialized in installation art, video, performance, sound art, photography, and time-based work, and was devised to "allow for creative exploration, experimentation, and exhibition in a space where artists are encouraged to take creative risks."[3][4][5] The gallery operated in partnership with its satellite project the Tollbooth Gallery, under the direction of Jared Pappas-Kelley alongside Michael Lent, and was one of four major projects of the nonprofit art organization ArtRod.[6][7] These also included the contemporary art journal Toby Room, and the film and video series Don't Bite the Pavement.[8]
In 2010 an online journal based on the Critical Line exhibition space was launched.[9][10]
