About Us
The gallery is founded in San Diego, CA by four physicians who are also visual artists with the goal of showcasing non-conformist artists with bold perspectives about the human body and quintessential human experiences and emotions. The gallery is focused on supporting local artists in addition to introducing artists from US and around the world with visionary and in your face attitudes - this is not a usual art gallery.
Each year we present between seven to eight exhibitions, many accompanied by original publications. We have openings every six weeks or so and, for the most part, free ice cream will be available during the events.
