Cactus Gallery has had its doors open since 2005. Their secret of longevity is a mixture of amazing contemporary and folk art pieces from incredible artists and the Owner Sandra’s commitment to maintaining a “grassroots” space full of heartfelt connections that she has established with artist’s from all over the world. I can certainly attest to this after showing work at Cactus Gallery in early 2016. I immediately felt like I was part of Sandra and Cactus Galleries family, there is so much energy and love that is poured into every show and a deep commitment from Sandra to promote and help artists flourish. Cactus Gallery lives up to its name of being “Art for the People” I would imagine it would be home for many regulars who eagerly await the new show previews! We were lucky enough to get a preview of the upcoming group event. An eclectic mix of contemporary art and a wonderful show not to be missed!
For “Symphony of Wings” artists will focus on wings and their symbolism. Throughout time, whether in nature, mythology or folklore, wings have been associated not only with power, speed, elevation, flight and freedom, but with the qualities of aspiration, protection, departed souls or intellectual thoughts.
