Art Lovers! Guess who’s back....? (Well, technically we never left) LOCAL ARTISTS! *We’ve all felt the smack down of the pandemic, but the local creatives kept their head down and have been grinding, creating, doing work- artwork! **The studios have been more productive in the last 6 months than any other period in our 10 year history (10 year celebration is postponed until we can have an unrestricted reception)... ***We would like to invite you to our first open house in several months. Stop by this Saturday 12pm-8pm, all art work will be outside, (we are only allowing 25 patrons to browse at a time) please wear your masks and DM us if you would like to schedule a private studio tour. Meet the local artists! Check out their creative space and see what they’ve been cooking up! Browse dozens of pieces all for sale, all made right here on site!

Alana had a studio here for a while a created the masterpiece here @location1980 . She left it here on consignment and since then it has become my favorite piece of my very dense art collection. The diptych birds eye view of an abstract Newport harbor is full of rich thick texture, a beautiful blue palate and finished with a high gloss dripping with luster. For sale DM is if you are interested. Or just enjoy! What’s your favorite piece in your house? #artappreciationchallenge #artistoninstagram #l1980 #art #artwork #oceanart #abstractart #abstractpainting
