Colors of life

The Gallery Art & Design is a space dedicated to art with a singular proposal that deliberately inserts itself into avant-garde trends. After operating in Mexico City and Milan, The Gallery opens its doors in Richmond. In this new effervescent environment of intense cultural activity, The Gallery, closely tied to the conceptual movement, operates as a gathering point for young talented American and international artists. The Gallery is appreciated by a demanding public for the excellent quality and contemporaneousness of its artists. Focused on the content as well as the high quality of the artwork, The Gallery responds to the aesthetic concerns of a dynamic city by giving a voice and a space to the problems and uncertainties of the different trends that arise in the world of contemporary art.
