We opened our first gallery space on Royal street as part of a collective with an antique dealer in the space behind us and a vintage store next to us in an old, falling apart house in the French Quarter in 2016 (Old houses and dilapidated things are just in our blood, but more about that later.) It was a second floor space but everything really felt right. It was just enough space and I went right to work creating the textured walls to backdrop our pieces.
