The gallery exhibits the talent of several local artists and maintains a steady exhibition schedule. The income streams come in several forms with a few examples being: custom framing, photo restoration, and publishing. This gallery is positioned proudly in a main street corridor with high pedestrian and vehicle visibility. The clientele is widespread, but includes many high end customers with a deep appreciation for art and expression rooted in horse country.
