We started in 2010 in Chicago inside a 6000 square foot shared space with a rug company. That's when I meet my now wife Glendy. When we decided to uproot the gallery in Chicago and take a break from events. Moving to South Bend Indiana and diving head first into a creative world we did not know much about. As I normally am, I was calling every creative outlet and me personally being use to callbacks and open dialogue between the galleries and creative community. I felt it was lacking. Maybe it was my straight forward ways. I found myself alone not connected to the close-knit group of creatives in this town.
For three years I tried to connect with the creative community in South Bend with little luck. I started and felt that Gallery Swarm Salon was unique in how we function and how we accept creatives and treat them with the respect they deserve. We have changed how we do business online by not taking commission and offer free to moderately cost effective ways to have creatives part of our resource and that possible clients can directly get a dialogue between the creatives and vice versa.
Since being in South bend I have had time to think a lot about how our creative resource Gallery Swarm Salon has a role in societies globally. We try to accept as many creatives that fit our creative model and jury in the content so it stays fresh and relevant in today's contemporary art world. We have connected with galleries, artists, writers, and resources we feel that can help creatives in their endeavors. Our resource is ever-growing and would like to break the stigma artists and galleries have and try to become a place where creatives fell they can find information that they find useful in an ever changing art world.
