It was in one of the 19th century Paris salons where Théophile Gautier coined the phrase 'l'art pour l'art' (art for art's sake), and his ethos seems to be emulated well here at this gallery. Gallery curator John Riepenhoff started this small space with the idea that anyone is inherently an artist. His first exhibition was a piece on 'for sale' signs made by a linguistics student from Japan and since then he has presented art made by the people for the people. The space functions as a place to screen films, show products and highlight other art events.
