What’s up
on our walls

A rotating exhibition space featuring local and emerging artists who reinterpret heritage, identity, and modern culture through visual art.

Join the community

Heritage, hung fresh every season

Our walls gallery gives emerging heritage artists something rare: a year-round, street-level home. Four exhibitions a year — textile, print, photography, and mixed media — each pairing an established keeper of tradition with a young artist reinterpreting it.

Openings are neighborhood affairs: the artists talk, musicians play, and the courtyard kitchen serves. All exhibited work is for sale, with the full price going to the maker.

Show your work

We select artists twice a year through an open call — no gallery CV required. If your work carries a tradition forward, we want to see it. Selected artists receive a hanging fee, a printed catalogue page, and a hosted opening night.

  1. 01

    Open call. Send five images and a short note about the tradition behind them.

  2. 02

    Studio visit. Our curators meet shortlisted artists over tea, not panels.

  3. 03

    Opening night. Your work on the walls, your community in the room.
