We'd love to be able to make studio visits, but it's really hard to do that. We prefer it when people e-mail us images of their work.

A lot of galleries around RTP are corporate markets and that's a big part of their patron base. We just want to show something we like and keep it laid back here. We don't want the intimidating environment that a lot of galleries have.

Sometimes you have a concept first, and then you try to find artists that echo the idea you have.

Sometimes Molly will fly out to L.A. for a few days, raid the gallery scene there, and come back with a list of names and try to lure them down here.
