“The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.” — Michelangelo


Great vision requires risk. To be a risk taker is the artist’s way.


In this new year, we as purveyors of fine art are once again pushing the envelope “for art’s sake.” We are on a quest to discover and present fabulous new artists and create new venues in which to experience their work.


Meet Cover Artist Paul B. Lotz and dive into the world of strategy and scheming with his new collection, “Checkmate.”


Celebrate the Chinese New Year lucky “Year of the Horse” with artist Jia Lu at our new location in Las Vegas (casino floor level at The Forum Shops at Caesars).


Join us for our first annual “Black and White” group show, and see what your favorite artists create without using color.


Bring your loved ones to our Valentines Day event featuring six-year-old prodigy, creator of “Bella Hearts.”


These and many more events await you.


May the new year bring creative vision for your life. Embrace the artist spirit. Take risks, live your passion, and let it begin with art!
