Two years ago Touchstone Gallery created My Space on 7th. It’s a unique, non-juried opportunity for local artists to exhibit at Touchstone’s gallery. In a short time, My Space on 7th has become a gallery tradition.

The upcoming January exhibition, like the two before it, drew an immediate response. All available spaces (88 artists selected 125 spaces for 300 or more artworks) were chosen within hours after registration opened. My Space on 7th  is designed to tap into two significant community needs: 1) to give local, often emerging, artists the rare opportunity to exhibit at a very low investment; and 2) to offer collectors the equally rare opportunity to view new and often reasonably priced work.

In these difficult times, it is more important than ever to have a thriving local arts scene. Support your local artists and join us at My Space on 7th from January 7 through February 7, 2009.
