BECOME A 1UV MEMBER GALLERY

1UV Gallery-Studio is a new concept in Art Gallery structure and economics. 1UV practices slow-business, something that may sound old-fashioned but is needed to create a sustainable future for our Planet and Communities. The concept of 1UV is this: a Gallery where everything is made by one person, is 1UV a kind or 1UV a limited series, not mass produced, where you buy directly from the designer/maker/craftsperson/artist, and environmental sustainability and sensitivity to Global Climate Change is addressed in concept, aesthetic, and/or fabrication process. The Gallery aims to be a functioning and integrated part of the local community in which it is located; a brick and mortar store front promoting human compassion, creativity and interaction through the vehicle of the sale of Art, Art-object, and Creative social events. Does this sound like something you would like to do or be a part of?
