No Hidden Costs: By picking up the paintings in our gallery, you can avoid expensive shipping fees, costs of insurance and the the hassle of returning and restocking.
Community and Connection
We’re not just a gallery; we’re a community hub. Monthly events provide collectors the opportunity to meet the artists behind the work and connect with fellow art enthusiasts. Supporting local artists strengthens our regional economy and nurtures a creative ecosystem.
