A lot of galleries around RTP are corporate markets and that's a big part of their patron base. We just want to show something we like and keep it laid back here. We don't want the intimidating environment that a lot of galleries have. |
Most of the people who attend these openings are artists, musicians and students; now they can come see a show and actually afford to take some of the pieces home with them. |
Sometimes Molly will fly out to L.A. for a few days, raid the gallery scene there, and come back with a list of names and try to lure them down here. |
Sometimes you have a concept first, and then you try to find artists that echo the idea you have. |
We'd love to be able to make studio visits, but it's really hard to do that. We prefer it when people e-mail us images of their work. |
