We set out to connect with some artists in our area, and after a few calls and striking up a relationship with the Blackstone Valley Art Association; we were able to fill the space with as much local art as we could get our hands on! We still work with many independent artists and are constantly building new relationships to bring in more artwork! Fast forward to now, and we have around 100 pieces of art at any given time by many local artists. Unlike most art galleries, we are not only located inside a dispensary but don’t profit from our art sales. 10% of the sales go directly to a charity we work with, 50 legs. After Taxes, the rest is paid out to the artist who created the piece. 50 Legs helps veterans and children get matched with prosthetic limbs for no cost to the individual receiving treatment. This has been the stat of our Charitable Arm, MJ's Cares. This gallery is truly a one-of-a-kind space, and we invite you to bring your ID and come on down to check out some of the fantastic pieces hanging within our facility! We hope to see you soon!
