After hanging over 500+ photographs including Polaroids, while simultaneously experiencing several emotions through them; we wanted to say that we are grateful to Norman for showing up for us during the August 2nd Friday Art Walk! It was a heart warming evening of stories, friendship, and memories. We look forward to seeing you all in September, and as we begin to exit summer and enter the fall season, nostalgia really hits different when you see yourself or someone you know reflected back at you.

@creativegiles put an immense amount of effort into this show and we are proud to be able to collaborate with him to bring this experience to life and share in the same vision and love for this city. ❤️

This is exhibit will be on display through September 27. Our open hours are Friday 11AM - 9PM, Saturday & Sunday 11AM - 6PM

Selfish Art’s opening was an absolute banger. Having all of the moments that make Norman - Norman, hanging on the gallery walls and seeing guests discuss their experiences with subjects (people and places), was a full circle community moment.

Craving more connection through art and community? Selfish Talks presentation night is happening on Friday, September 4, 6PM–9PM at Uncanny Art House.
