Also beginning March 6th, in collaboration with The Gallery of Fine Art, we are thrilled to offer a pop up art exhibit with the works of Fabio Napoleoni.  This exhibit will feature a variety of limited edition prints by the artist.

What the heart wants and the heart needs can be found in a Fabio Napoleoni painting. Nostalgia, sorrow and moments that lift the soul are all there for the world to see and experience along with him. The vivid colors and captivating characters invite you into an emotional ride that is welcomed by the mind and the heart. Simple landscapes set the stage to the value of emotional attachment that can be compared to no other. Influences from some of this century’s greatest artists are hard to find in his pieces, but are drenched deep in the fabric of what puts a Napoleoni painting together.

This exhibit will run through April 19th, alongside a new selection of featured works by our 30+ Gallery Artists!
