i once saw a cartoon that distilled all art down into the idea that art used to be “look at this!” and with modern art all art became “look at me!”

there’s definitely something compelling about the self-portrait. artistic navel-gazing. a ready and willing model. the chance to cast yourself in the grand tapestry of history. and to have lots and lots of people look at you as a work of art.

to submit your ideas/work for consideration, please send a letter of intent to our inbox. Then get cracking on turning yourself into a work of art.

come on down and celebrate our new show on friday from 7pm-10pm. and if you can’t make it then, we’ve expanded our gallery hours in honor of all this sunshine we’ve been having. we’re now open saturday from 1pm-7pm and sunday from 2pm-6pm. why not make art part of your weekend?
