Originally a brick-and-mortar, contemporary art space at Zephyr Cove, Lake Tahoe, the gallery has transformed into a nomadic curatorial project with a virtual online viewing and art collecting platform. Director Frances Melhop has created a roving gallery encouraging a new approach to thinking about and interacting with contemporary art.
Melhop represents 12 artists, with a focus on under represented and female artists, providing support and nurturing their careers. She introduces experienced and fledgling collectors to fresh, diverse, conceptual, contemporary artwork.
…
The artists presented are national, and international, ranging from Lake Tahoe, Nevada to New York, Seoul, Kumamoto Japan, London and Moscow. Through careful research Melhop curates dynamic guerilla-style pop up exhibitions, while facilitating art installations and studio visits for people to experience art and meet artists in non-intimidating ways.
Mission: to support artists, build community, collaborate with institutions, galleries, and other entities, so artists can realize projects in non-traditional spaces, that are more meaningful and relevant to their work. The benefits of not being restricted to only one space are already clear. Melhop can cast a broader geographical net, without being tied to one place, meaning - more exposure for the artists.
