Tony Pedemonte works with an obsessive bent. When he’s drawings, he loads down the page with color to the point of collapse. Same thing goes when he’s working on sculpture, only he likes to wrap his structures to the point of collapse. And in the process he tends to sweep up any nearby art supplies […]

                            We’ve got these blooming beauties by Beetle Blossom (Katie McCann) in the Storefront right now. They’re made of recycled maps, book pages and delicate papers…. and start at only $8. Welcome Spring!

In the meantime, click here to find out everything we have going […]

We’re cooking up a great time and some super shows for the third month of the year. Like our latest pop-up shop…

RotaCare Richmond Free Medical Clinic is fantastic.  It is staffed by a part-time site administrator and operated entirely by volunteers. They offer free medical care to those who are uninsured and underinsured. We are delighted and honored that they asked us for a long-term loan of some pieces from our archives for their walls. We pulled […]
