Brush Strokes Art Gallery

This little art gallery is tucked away inside the Roseland Residency complex over in Pimple Saudagar. It is not located on a main commercial street, which actually makes it a lot quieter and a nicer place for people to just look at the paintings without any rush. We started this project because we noticed there were so many local artists who didn't have a place to show their work to the public. It is a small operation, mostly just me and a part-time helper who comes in a few days a week. We spend a lot of our time dusting the frames and moving the pieces around to make sure the light hits them just right. The lighting in this part of the building can be a bit tricky, so we are always adjusting the lamps. Residents from the housing society often wander in while they are out for their evening walk, which is nice. We enjoy talking to them about what they like or what catches their eye. We do not really follow any strict rules about what kind of art we put on display. If something looks good and we can see the artist put a lot of heart into it, we are happy to give it some wall space. It is a very relaxed atmosphere, nothing like those cold and stiff galleries you see in the big city. We just like having beautiful things around us while we work.
