These are the types of interactions that we sometimes don't think about. Once a piece of art is out in the world... Well. It's out there in the world it takes on new meaning to each and every viewer.
Imagine our surprise, coming across this video (receiving over 60k likes!) featuring the words of, poet, @_isaiahquinn - depicting a couple wildly in love traipsing around West Town without a care in the world.
Whether the poem was inspired by art of @lie_4d and @lady_luuz or if it just served as the perfect backdrop - it matters not 😍
Thank you @_isaiahquinn for creating this moment and sharing your work as it intermingles with our work! It's a true reflection of community and collaboration.

It's always nice to see pieces existing in the spa

It's always nice to see pieces existing in the space in which they were created.
Thanks to @sgdecarlo for sharing this peek into her studio!
We now have ALL THREE "Rose Study" paintings listed online (and in store).
These would make for some breathtaking presents, ey?! There's still plenty of time to get these shipped out in time for gift giving season!
And best yet? These roses will never wilt. 🥀 #ClickthePic and #becomeACollector

@sickfisher's "Sailors Delight" is appropriately named because it also seems to be bringing the audience the most delight!
The feedback on the landscape pieces has been completely astounding!!
So many folks have been in and out of the gallery to view "Copy Cat" in the last few weeks, it's been so cool to hear your thoughts and see everyone enjoying the work.
We're closed Sun/Mon but we'll see you on Tue! (and yes, this one is #SOLD)

Here it is... THE SECOND ephemeral install from @sickfisher for his debut solo show "COPY CAT"
These murals only stay up for the duration of the exhibition so we emplore you to get your booty on down to see them in real life before they're gone gone gone!
Today's a great day to do that since we're open ALL DAY extended hrs from 11-6 pm for all your shop small holiday gift needs!!
This West facing window concept was the perfect complimentary piece to the east window - Garfield embodies the #copycat theme of the show while the other window was the signature #sickfisher false facade style where he mimicked the look of the gallery.
Together, the perfect marriage of ideas that came together so beautifully for this incredible (and the last of the year) show!!

When we say we're adding new work online (and in store) daily... We mean it.
A, highly coveted, dark Victorian portrait by @karlmjahnke just went live - just in time for his birthday!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to one of the most talented artists (also self taught) out there. 🎂
Karl has long been a staple of the gallery and his caliber of work truly elevates the space and makes us look more legit than we might be 😉

Partner paintings are THE NEW FRIENDSHIP NECKLACES

Partner paintings are THE NEW FRIENDSHIP NECKLACES. Keep one for yourself and gift the other!
Well, you could gift em both. Or keep em both.
But, it is the gift giving season.
And that's why we're so excited that @bojanailic_bojitt just dropped off a bunch of new paintings just for the holidays.
"You Got the Moves" is a series of 2 originals - they're sold separately but you get a steal of a deal if you purchase them as a set!
BUT only one collector can grab that special price because if one sells on its own...the set price dissappears!
These are available now online and instore so #ClickthePic and #becomeACollector
