I've become very interested in oil paintings from the 19th and 20th Centuries. Ken Ackerman has a spectacular collection presented and styled beautifully. His gallery actually reminded me of the Musee D'Orsay which I visited in Paris last October. I am impressed with the gallery's integrity and scope. The Art Advisory and Investment program is brilliant. The gallery's passion and professionalism is unique, and frankly unparalleled. I've had the privilege and pleasure of collecting for forty years.

I was expecting the process of selling my father in laws painting to be like trying to sell a car,…read moredealing with the usual stereo type car dealer/art dealer. I was wrong. Mr. Ackerman was very caring and completely transparent in the process and took the time to teach me about the process of selling art. Mr. Ackerman also knew everything about my artists work.

I came across The SEED completely by accident; took a right turn to dodge a red light, and ended up…read morestumbling upon a burst of color and creativity I didn't expect to find. This shipping container is repurposed as a 24 hour outdoor art gallery, tucked right into the Richmond Hill Riverwalk at Mill River Park. It's called The SEED, and it's here to do exactly what its mission says: cultivate creativity and community. Currently on display is the work of Israel Acosta, a fellow Puerto Rican/Dominican artist from New York whose pieces stopped me in my tracks. His work speaks volumes about identity, survival, and ambition, all wrapped in color and culture. There's even a taco truck parked right out front, and a hand-painted bench nearby that practically invites you to sit down, eat, and take it all in. I didn't grab a taco today, but next time I will; I can't think of a better lunch spot than one surrounded by meaningful art and community energy. The SEED isn't just a gallery, it's a little spark of culture, connection, and pride
