Director's Statement
 

I never thought at age 23 in 1977, after driving cross country in my VW bug, that years later, I would be looking back at what I've created with such pride. It's been over forty-five years on Royal Street in New Orleans. With the help of superbly talented artists, loyal, discerning collectors and an abundance of amazing people, we have created a stellar art experience. We are womanowned and run business welcoming all people.
We are just over the worst of one of the most challenging periods that we, the global family, have shared in most of our lives. It has given us a chance to step back, breathe, and do things a little differently. We never stopped working, nor did our artists and we continued to present art to you, our collectors. The team is smaller, and we changed our days open to Wednesday through Saturday and for the first time ever, we are closed one week in August and the week around Christmas.
We've lived through floods, hurricanes, economic downturns and a global pandemic, all the while exhibiting over two hundred artists and hosting more than five hundred events. We currently show twenty-five accomplished artists, working in a wide variety of media — oil, acrylic, dry pigments, glass, bronze, steel, clay, fiberglass, resin, aluminum and photography. We continue to present a range of styles for our collectors: abstraction, realism, fantasy, surrealism, pop and expressionism. My goal is and has always been to seek out and make available for fellow art lovers excellent art and to provide a stimulating and enriching gallery for all to enjoy. Our gallery is a perfect setting for contemporary art with broad windows, fourteen-foot ceilings and 1860 Italian marble. The space resonates with light. The second floor of the gallery adds another space we call Evolve. We have held a few fantastic events there and look forward to welcoming you.In recent years we have lost several wonderful artists who we loved. Charlie Thysell died in April of 2020, Steve Taylor in 2021 and just recently Christian Vey died in 2022. We miss them.

I am thankful for all the artists and art lovers who have made this effort so completely fulfilling.

Much Love and gratitude,

Angela
