Taking art from local artist. I had art on display in a business that was renting a space from ARA. I fought to get my art back once I found out the business shut down without warning and they left everything behind including my art. I find out it is ARA that has taken over and kept all my art and lied multiple times to cover up that they have kept my art along with any property left inside from the previous tenants (Lucky's ATX)
. 1st they stated they did not have any cameras on the premises (the lobby, the inside of Lucky's, or outside the building). The day I called and asked about cameras I was in their lobby and they do have a camera they just didn't want to provide footage that would show they were hiding info from me..
Then they lied about how long they kept footage for. They said only up to 30 days their cameras store footage and next thing I know they're saying they keep it up to a couple of months.... but of course they apparently no long had footage from the time this all took place when the owners and staff abandon the property where Lucky's was and ARA took over.
Then they said they saw 0 art in the building yet there are images missing from the photos they took when they did a walk through of the space -- it's as if they deleted the image files or just avoided sending them to me. Notice how there is no clear photos of the back corner but MULTIPLE photos of all the other areas. Photos 9-20 have been removed from the files they shared with me I see one of my light rectangle pieces with my one gold rimmed painting stacked on top. Stacking anything on my art will cause scratches very easily so they likely damaged all my pieces anyways. These people will take your belongings even though you had nothing to do with them instead of being good humans and giving back to a local broke artist. read more
