In only two short months we saw it come up from nothing to fully operational and buzzing with energy. Now that we are in full swing, I’d like to share with you some images of the studio. Also we have a few works that I and a couple students are finishing up here shortly. Please check back soon for our postings, when we will be also announcing some recent awards as well as new artwork.
I’ve got a few more announcements to share about upcoming exhibitions and instruction.

Opening Reception: Friday, September 17, 5 pm – 9 pm
Gallery 1261, a contemporary art space located in the heart of the Golden Triangle Arts District, is dedicated to presenting excellent work that reflects the artists’ most creative side, done without the constraints of marketability in mind.
“This is an art space created for the love of art. These are the works created when no one is looking over the artist’s shoulder – perhaps works that artists sometimes are reluctant to tackle, the work that their other galleries might not think fits the mold. The space is by artists and for artists. These are painters’ paintings. Their work stands on its own without the crutch of a message or statement, work that is worthy without consideration of subject – without sentimentality . . . Just good painting and sculpture – whether representational or not.” – curator, Quang Ho
The September Issue of American Art Collector will be featuring a preview article about the show. Please be sure to check it out!
