Sabita Art Gallery

Our gallery is right near Garia Briji. It’s a spot where there’s always a lot of movement and noise from the bridge nearby. We focus on local art and framing. The walls are covered from floor to ceiling with different paintings and sketches. Some are from professionals, and some are just from people in the neighborhood who like to paint. We spend a lot of time measuring frames and cutting glass. It’s a precise job, and we’ve got the calluses on our hands to prove it. The smell of wood glue and fresh paint is always in the air here. It’s not a fancy gallery where you need an invitation to enter. Anyone can just walk in off the street and look around. We like seeing what the local artists bring in; there’s always something new. Sometimes we have to move everything around to make room for a big new piece. It’s a bit of a maze inside, but that’s part of the charm. We don't have a big philosophy about art; we just think it’s nice to have something handmade on your wall. We stay busy with the framing side of things mostly. It’s a steady pace of work, and we enjoy the creative atmosphere, even with the traffic rumbling overhead. It’s just our little corner of Garia where things are a bit more colorful than the street outside.
