Curators Marty Wilson, Jaqueline Wilson
I owe Jaqueline credit for helping launch my art career. I had been painting and painting for years but had never shown anything to anyone other than friends and family. I was in the gallery and she asked if she could help us find anything, and my husband said, "Oh, she's an artist!" I wanted to disappear, being quite unprepared in what to say or do next, and she asked, "What kind of work do you do?" Again I was unprepared. She could see I was nervous and said, "Well, bring some paintings and let me see what you have." I brought a box and she picked out four that she wanted to hang in her gallery, and I was on cloud nine, and it gave me the confidence I needed to make more gallery inquiries.
Curators Rhonda Anne Herring and Cecily Anan Cummings
Several exhibitions rotated around month by month, gallery moved from this location, and Katrina halted the opening of the new one. The old gallery was extensively damaged from the hurricane.
Curators Todd and Colleen Reid
Absolutely destroyed during Katrina.
While this was not soley an art gallery in the true sense of the word, Da Beach House was a fun filled place that had a heavy emphasis on local art and supporting the local artists by giving them a show. They also rented kayaks and sold healthy food and smoothies (they were the best, made from all real fruits and vegetables, right before your eyes!) I did very very well over there, and this was the only gallery where I lost work because of Katrina. See my Da Beach House page here.
Curators Butch and Romy Simpson
I am currently showing there. Very nice and supportive people. A very active and community minded gallery. I have some of my new work there, and it's doing well. Butch is a certified picture framer and can do custom framing and matting. Highly recommended. Local, national and international artists.
Curators Elizabeth Huffmaster and Tony Pisaturo
Closed early 2005
I had an exhibition here in November 2004 entitled "Colors of a Non-Typical Existance".
