We sincerely love what we do, and we take great pride in our collection of fine art and artisan products. As the owner of Gallery 30, I nurture a strong sense of community, and my team upholds Gallery 30's unofficial mission statement to speak gently, to act fairly and to treat all people with love, dignity and respect.
