Josh and I formed BoxHeart in 1998 while exhibiting our own artwork in a tent at the Westmoreland Rib Cook-off. In June 2001, we selected BoxHeart's Bloomfield home, formerly John Mowder's Bloomfield ArtWorks space. Our very first exhibit, "Art of this Century", featured - literally - hundreds of local artists. Ten years later, in September 2011, we purchased the 4523 Liberty Avenue building and began the process of renovating the upper floors. In January, 2017 we inaugurated our expanded gallery/home space with the exhibition "Almost 17 and #werestillhere". Our artists make our gallery possible! They are a diverse group of independent artists. We exhibit artwork within the primary art market and work directly with living Artists creating right now. We are not certified art appraisers and we do not appraise artwork for insurance or resale value. We marked our 20 Year Anniversary with a year-long celebration fostering our continued dedication to the living artists we represent. Stop by! We are always free and open to the public.

Our Mission

"Art is both love and understanding, the desire to give. It is not charity, which is the giving of the self. It is both the taking and giving of beauty, the turning out to the light the inner folds of the awareness of the spirit. It is the recreation of another plane of the realities of the world, the tragic and wonderful realities of earth and man and all the interrelations of these."   Written by Ansel Adams in a letter to his best friend, Cedric Wright in 1937
