Thank you (again)

I’m sure I said “thank you” over a thousand times last Friday when we opened our gallery doors for the grand opening celebration. But, I have to say it one more time. I was overwhelmed by the unbelievable turnout - thank you to all my friends, family, mentors and supporters. With over 300 people walking through the space, I was reminded how fortunate we are to be in the Des Moines community. I am so thankful for every individual who stopped by to celebrate with us. Every “congratulations” was heart-felt and meaningful - thank you again and again for the kind words. We’re excited to bring our roster of artists to the Midwest market (where most have never been) and, ultimately, into your homes! The grand opening was just the beginning. We’ve hit the ground running this week and we truly believe the best is yet to come.

We’re now open during our normal business hours Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m., and Saturday by appointment. Whether you want to just say hi on your way to St. Kilda’s new Surf & Turf or you’re looking for your next piece of art, we’d love for you to drop in! This is a gallery you can walk into without the fear of feeling out of place. With a variety of price points, we welcome and encourage all to step into our space.

And now it’s back to work!
