This Gallery and Shop was designed to promote high craft, folk art and outsider art(ists) from the region. We produced many exhibits, and were happy to be involved in peer relationships/supportive merchant association with the surrounding galleries and businesses. Our focus was to open opportunities for continued community growth and awareness of local folk and outsider artists, who had much to contribute both to social commentary and to the arts aesthetic found in such culturally rich offerings. We brought together international folk craft and innovatiors, local pottery and metal sculptural artists, local painters and those who specialized in drawing, Fiber artists, and collectors throughout the area and nationally.
