KAJ Art Gallery is celebrating first anniversary
KAJ Art Gallery is excited to announce they will be celebrating their first anniversary in December.
To celebrate, guests are invited to stop by the gallery located at 462 Tamiami Trail North in Naples, to view the current contemporary artwork on display throughout the gallery.
Artists currently being featured for the anniversary show are two-dimensional painter Paul Tamanian, sculptor Mark Dickson, and ceramicist Chris Gustin, ceramicist Karen Shapiro, and local illustrator Andy Howl.
The gallery opened last November with the goal to bring some of the finest contemporary artwork to the Naples community.
“We feel so blessed to be celebrating our one-year anniversary of being in business,” says Kosmas Ballis, co-owner of KAJ Gallery. “The support of contemporary art from the Naples community has been phenomenal.”
The gallery is a joint venture by longtime friends Jason Taylor and Kosmas Ballis. Taylor is an accomplished plastic surgeon and is currently based in Los Angeles. Ballis attended the Kansas City Art Institute and holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from Florida State University. He won the Gold Prize for ceramics at the 2016 Taiwan Ceramics Biennale, which allowed him to spend nine months working with various museums throughout Asia.
Private and group wine receptions and showings are welcomed.
KAJ Gallery is located at 462 Tamiami Trail between 4th and 5th Avenues North. For more information, call 239-234-7918 or visit www.kajartgallery.com.
