great news all around!
If I were a gallery looking for space, looking around the convention center would be a no brainer:
1. Galleries often have a great side source of income through renting their spaces out for events, and stuff that goes on at the CC often needs outside space for pre-parties, extra conferences, etc.
2. There's some great architecture for unique and cool gallery space, and rents are not sky high (yet).
3. The area's served by a metro and a circulator line, so it's easily accessed from downtown.
4. Great restaurants serve and are coming online throughout the area (corduroy, vegetate, nima's, acadiana).
