Several years ago, Omari Henderson (owner of the gallery) held an art gathering at my home. We both worked for the same company at that time. I had a bunch of friends, coworkers at the gathering. All went well that evening and several art pieces were shown. We also brought in three local artists (including his father, Aaron) a local artist. We had just under 20 guests. It was a great night, however Omari went back to our company the following day and repeated gossip he overheard at the party. It got back to me that afternoon. I understand that some people gossip, however Omari shared information that was potentially damaging to a family in attendance that evening.
When I emailed him about it, he refused to acknowledge that he was in the wrong. When I explained to him that he should not have shared/repeated that information, he corrected me and told me that my GUEST should not have said it in the first place. I was stunned and warned him that if he continued to repeat this behavior, it might hurt his business. He assured me it would not and refused to apologize. No one needs to wonder if their guests personal business is being repeated by a business owner. Just because you happen to overhear some gossip does not mean, that as a business owner, you should repeat it! To hear the gossip repeated at my office was embarrassing and completely out of line, yet Omari refused.
Although this was several years ago, I never forgot it. What is said in a person's home should stay there - especially a business meeting! Omari was not a friend of mine, nor a business partner. I considered myself to be his CLIENT and as such he acted in a manner that was highly unprofessional and inconsiderate. He just didn't get it and refused to accept it. Our business relationship ended that day. Now I see that it is possible to book an event for his gallery on line. I would caution readers of this review to think twice. Hopefully Mr. Henderson has grown up and no longer conducts himself in this manner, however I will not be doing business with his company again.
