High Street Art

We will be hosting a huge sidewalk sale soon - your chance to get some wall art at super cheap prices before we pack up when we're keeping! Dates coming soon

So the gallery is coming back after a long hiatus! We are moving, as well as RE-moving the framing part of the business! Watch for more news

We are so proud to be welcoming a wonderful artist, Mr. Zhe-zhou Jiang and enjoying works by him and some of his most esteemed students. Join us tomorrow, Saturday September 14 from 6-9pm in beautiful downtown Mt. Holly!

the new mobile art gallery is coming along nicely - stay tuned for a KickStarter video campaign to be posted soon to raise funds for a paint job! Hoping to be on the road looking good by September!

Come in for a 15% off diploma graduation special when you mention you saw this post on Facebook! Stop by for a chat!

Had a nice opening for Daniel Jones last Saturday, missed you if you weren't here! We enjoyed cranberry wine from Harry Hutchinson (thanks!), an enormous cheese platter provided by Peter Daley, magic provided by Samson, Ezekiel, and Mercury, and of course, the debut of the to-be mobile art gallery, Sirius. . .

We also found this nest in the hanging basket. . .a bird filled day

Check ou the awning we pulled down today - it all began with some beautiful birds that made a nest in the space that held the awning and unfortunately we had to clean it out. Not sure what kind of birds they were but there were no eggs or babies yet, so hopefully they'll find a nice tree somewhere nearby and continue with their lives.

Today, Mark is playing hockey with anyone out on High Street. He's getting paid $50,000 to do it, too. You're missing the action if you're not here.
