An Artist-run event that aims to promote (primarily) local artists and connect them with budding and seasoned collectors in a welcoming high-energy atmosphere. We’ll also be peppering-in Artists from coast to coast so there’s always something new to discover.

New to collecting art? Because all work is 12×12″ it’s a great event to find a seed piece for your personal gallery that will no doubt grow over time!

Seasoned Collector? We know art is addictive and you always have space for “just one more” little gem.

A Gallery Show will feature, but is not limited to, hundreds of 12×12″ format original artwork available from $250 just before the Holidays in person and online.
