I'm embarrassed to say that after 12 years in operation, last Saturday was my first visit to Jones Gallery; I'm not embarrassed to say that they are my new favorite gallery. Representing and showcasing dozens of local artist of all genres, media and cultures. Their home is a powerful and primitive, yet vibrant large space with high ceilings to exhibit a multitude of pieces. The price points are extremely reasonable on most work and it may sound cliché' but there is something for everyone - at least those that give a damn about supporting the local arts scene. The owners on site were personable and welcoming and exhibited no "elitist" attitudes that sometime merchants of art can reveal to customers ( I worked in a record store - I know about elitism, lol ).My wife picked up a small pop-art piece from Ukrainian born local artist Iryna Stroganova, and with my wife's birthday just a few weeks away, I already know where I will be returning soon alone. With comfy seating areas for lounging while sipping a coffee from the attached coffee shop - Slow Bar; Jones Gallery seems to have their finger on the pulse of what it takes to run a business while supporting local artists. They deserve much success.
