We were on a little anniversary vacay with limited gallery hours but we are back at it with regular hours starting today. With all the atrocities going on in our country it’s really hard to go on. Running a small business, especially a brick and mortar takes a lot of dedication…

It’s fair to say that we cannot say happy Fourth of July this year as a corrupt administration run by a convicted felon is running rampant profiting off our country and taking away the rights, social services, and healthcare of millions.

Welcome new artists! We had another great new artist orientation today. It’s always so inspiring to meet creative, thoughtful people who are excited to be part of our community. Being around good folks really gives us hope and keeps the spirit of this place alive.

Go get em! No kings day tomorrow!
