The James Black Gallery presents Pressure Point, a new maximalist project which will feature saleable art & art supplies within a block from our main location. Our main location will remain studios and venue space. This pop-up is located in the iconic City Centre Motel.

We thank you for your submission, priority will be given to 2SQT & PoC artists.
