Art Gallery Pure Committed to Assisting Artists with Helpful Resources in Challenging Time.

Art Gallery Pure, a Dallas art gallery curated by local artists, remains committed to helping local artists navigate through challenging times by providing helpful resources. 

The art gallery sells affordable contemporary art of professional artists and continues to promote artists during this challenging time. In fact, the team at Art Gallery Pure has been actively seeking resources, working through applications on several options and researching artist grants available to help local artists prosper in this unique and challenging environment.

“There are very good things happening across the world right now in response to the pandemic. Many resources now offer financial support through this challenging economic time. More customers are attracted to buying local, which applies to buying local artwork as well. We are committed to continue assisting artists every way possible,” says Julia Ross, Art Gallery Pure Artist & Curator.
