If the hardest part is getting started, then the hardest part is already behind us. To acquire this space was lucky, but to keep it will require a little help from our friends and community. We believe in our business model and want to turn our luck into the next big art movement. We know with time our gallery and events will be all the rage in San Diego and beyond. Those who back us now are in store for some cool and unique rewards as symbols of our genuine appreciation.
