The Bare Walls Bazaar
Bare Walls Bazaar is for anyone with bare walls and good intentions.
We think buying local art should be easy—so we’ve done the hard part. We bring the art to you with a curated selection of thoughtfully chosen, professionally framed, ready-to-hang work by local artists. Bring photos of your space, get personalized guidance, and discover how easy it can be to turn bare walls into something you love—all while supporting local artists.
Show up
Come to an event, and tell our friendly art ambassadors what your style is! They can direct you to an artist that will match up with your vibes.
Show us
Bring a picture of your walls! Which walls do you need to fill, how big are they, what kind of furniture/decor is already there?
Choose it
Love it!
How it works
Find something from one of our local artists that fits, ready to hang! If you need a different frame, we’ll direct you to our framing partners for a quote.
We’ll give you recommendations for installing your new art on your own walls, so all you have to think about is how much you’re going to love looking at it everyday.
