sixspace - s i x s p a c e - sixspace

Dear Journalists / Writers / Editors / etc:

Since this is continually mistaken in articles written about us, we've felt the need to spell it out a little more clearly. The name of our art gallery is "sixspace" - that's all one word and lowercase. It's an aesthetic choice yes, but one that we'd appreciate you respecting. For some reason writers in the past have felt the need to write it as "SixSpace" or "Six-Space" or as two words and this is painfully incorrect. Also, in this case, the word "space" in the title is synonymous with "gallery" so writing out "sixspace gallery" is redundant. Would you write "salsa sauce?" If you feel that your readers are not competent enough to understand that art is shown in a "space" the same way it is shown in a "gallery" then please refer to it as "sixspace art gallery" not "sixspace gallery." Additionally, please never write it as "The Sixspace Gallery" since that is clearly a proper title, one that does not belong to us. It's wrong on so many levels it's not even worth discussing. The gallery is called "sixspace" so if you can just call it that, that would be great.

Thanks for your time.
