A common name for a room in the LDS church is a cultural hall. Depending on who you are or what location you come from this could mean different things. A cultural hall could be the basketball gym that is in most LDS churches or it could also be a large room for gatherings or meetings. Sometimes these rooms are called multi-purpose rooms.
When weddings occur, most LDS weddings are performed in temples, however, the reception is usually held in the gym or cultural hall of the meeting house. This would be a time when artwork, flowers and other festive items adorn these gyms. Other times when artwork might be displayed would be during primary or ward activities. This room usually does not have art on the walls because stake and ward members use the facilities to play athletic events such as basketball, volleyball, or dodge ball. These gyms often have a stage where productions such as road shows take place.
Multi-purpose rooms are usually large rooms like the relief society room or the priesthood room where large Sunday schools or other meetings are held. This room often has artwork displayed on the walls. Because this room is not the sacrament meeting room or the chapel it is generally okay to place artwork on the walls. Some of the paintings might include the Savior teaching the sermon on the mount, or Jesus appearing to Mary after His resurrection.
