Discover one-of-a-kind art that speaks to your heart

Sparks Gallery showcases accessible, affordable, and purposeful contemporary art and jewelry that is locally made.

With a focus on surreal and impressionistic artwork, the gallery curates towards emotive works with strong narratives, in themes ranging from portraiture and figurative to landscape and conceptual.

We love to match art appreciators and collectors with artwork that speaks to their hearts, and so their space can tell a story.

We curate art for nature lovers, compassionate collectors, and those who seek connection with creative minds.

BROWSE ART

If you are looking for a particular size, color, or theme of artwork, we are also happy to source pieces for you, or the artists may create a custom piece just for you.

Early catalog access to exhibition catalogs is available when you subscribe to our newsletter.

Parking is most available at the "Park it on Market" lot between 6&7th on Market Street, or "6th&K Parkade" at 6th & K streets. We also recommend booking ahead using SpotHero.com.

In addition to offering art exhibitions, we often host art workshops, seminars, and private parties, as well as art both for purchase or for rent for interior design projects.
