Exciting News for Artists! 🎨✨

As part of the gallery's commitment to support and empower artists, we're thrilled to launch our new ONLINE EDUCATION program, starting with a comprehensive course: The Art of Selling: A Business Guide for Artists.

Click the first link in our bio to check it out!

Created by Melissa Mitchell, an artist and entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience in business development and marketing, this guide covers the essentials of the business side of art—understanding the art market, pricing confidently, building an online presence, business structure, contracts, and more. It’s packed with practical strategies to help artists thrive and expand the support we offer beyond the gallery.

While some of you are art enthusiasts and supporters rather than artists yourselves, we believe in the power of community. If you know any artists— friends, family, or acquaintances—who might benefit from this resource, we'd be grateful if you'd share it with them. Your support helps us build a thriving, connected art community where creativity flourishes.

"Creating educational content isn’t new to me—I’ve previously developed CEU materials and presentations for medical professionals. But this course is tailored specifically for artists, with engaging, real-world strategies designed to make a real impact."

Thank you for supporting artists in their journey!

If you missed last night's show, we’ve got a special treat for you—a pre-show glimpse from Joseph himself! We were honored to have him at our gallery, sharing his breathtaking works.
Six of these pieces have already sold, but we’re thrilled to announce that Joseph has graciously left most of his remaining collection with us.
If something catches your eye, don’t hesitate to reach out—his art is in high demand, and we have a limited supply available. Joseph will not be returning to the gallery until the end of this year, so this is a rare opportunity to own one of his pieces.
We’re delighted to offer such elegant and sophisticated art to our community. Come visit us and experience this stunning showcase for yourself—you won't be disappointed!

🔴NOW is your chance to finally get that showstopper for your home or office! While some pieces may remain after the show, others will be gone by this Saturday, so don’t miss your chance to experience this one-of-a-kind art. Trust me, you haven’t seen anything like this before in our area!
The artwork arrived last night, and wow... we're all absolutely speechless. 😍🎉 These pieces are pure eye candy!
We can't contain our excitement for the show tomorrow featuring the incredible Joseph Raymond II! If you're a fan of modern abstract art and have struggled to find that perfect, larger-than-life piece, you’ll totally get why we're buzzing with anticipation to show you what arrived last night.
This is a must-see event, so come out and see for yourself! Tell your friends and family—it's going to be BIG! 🖼

You are invited to a special evening with the artist!
Friday, August 9th from 6-9pm
Admission is free.

Joseph Raymond II is a well-known and collected artist across the US. He works with some of the top designers and his works hang in many showrooms and galleries.

We are so excited to have his fresh, abstract and elevated style to join the works of our other great artists here at Padre Island Art Gallery.

Joseph is most known for his very large works using his own proprietary heavy textures and various metallics to achieve his signature elegant style - sophisticated and luxurious.

He is open for commissions creating diptychs, triptychs or single canvas art of almost any size.

Our little granddaughter arrived at 3:33am. Mom and baby are healthy and doing great!
The gallery will be closed today as we try to rest a bit. We will reopen Wednesday at 11am.
Have a wonderful day! 🥂Melissa
