From rising talents to internationally recognized names, our curated exhibitions highlight the dynamic range of pop and contemporary art, celebrating everything from iconic imagery to street-inspired visuals.
Our mission is to create a space that’s as accessible as it is inspiring. A place where seasoned collectors, first-time buyers, and art lovers of all kinds can connect with powerful, eye-catching works that tell a story. We believe art should spark conversation, stir emotion, and add a touch of rebellion to the everyday. Come see what’s fresh, fearless, and unforgettable.

We partner with local roasters to offer rich, flavorful blends and single-origin options that celebrate the craft of coffee-making. Whether you're here to sip slowly while exploring the space or just stopping in for a quick caffeine fix, our coffee bar is designed to fuel inspiration and spark connection.
From velvety flat whites to bold espressos and seasonal specials, every cup is made to elevate your experience. Great art deserves great coffee — and we’re here to serve both.
