A 9,000 sq ft gallery doesn't open every day. Or very often for that matter. However, Kenny Schwartz, an art collector who made his bones in car dealerships and real estate, has gone all in on this venture. The large building has a large facade mural by the Wall Dogs aka Tait Roelofs from LA's Acme Murals and Patrick Kane McGregor from Brooklyn's Colossal Media. Director Tara Amelchenko has a big canvas (pun intended) to work with in this space, which is exciting and quite a challenge.
The work has a pop surreal/street bent to it, mostly (or all) from Schwartz's extensive collection. Some recognizable names, some not so much which seems to fit part of his plan to promote new artists. This gallery is quite an addition to the Red Bank arts scene. Photos below aren't great, but it's not so easy snapping photos at an opening reception as busy as this one!
