they opened a brick-and-mortar location that they called

CHROMATIC COLLECTIVE, named for the mural festival they organized under the same name. 

​

This location served as a gateway for artists to connect with each other and the community.

Together they organized over 30 exhibitions for emerging and established artists - leaning towards an open approach that allowed artists to break out of the standard "white box" model of a traditional gallery. 

​

In addition to gallery shows, Chromatic Collective hosted artist meet-ups and workshops. Gluestick, a DIY zine and poetry collective, had found a home here to host their monthly poetry open mics and zine collabs. The

Indy Figure Drawing Guild was also a regular guest.

​

Many friends were made here. Traveling artists would visit frequently to find sanctuary in an artist owned and operated retail, gallery, and studio space. The energy was authentic and fun, reflecting one of their frequent mottos

"you can't fake the funk!". Chromatic changed the game by inspiring artists to build their own pathways. 

​

Sadly, Chromatic had to close their location in 2024 due to the changing real estate climate. Many consider this a major loss for the community. However, all is not lost. The Chromatic Collective now serves their community via the 5th Dimension - meaning they organize and participate in pop-ups all around the state.
