    I maybe should wait for a return visit to write a more comprehensive review but Toledo is an hour…read moreaway, Yelp ain't paying us for our professionalism, obviously, and I take more pride in racking up Firsts than in running up my total reviews so away we go! This place used to be a tattoo parlor and it shows in the layout. It might not be optimum for all shows but I kind of liked it for the Midwest and Beyond graffiti show I attended with some fellow Detroiters. One of the tattooing rooms was the cofounder's studio that he had opened up as a chill spot and it was fun trading sketches in black books with others who sought a place away from the hubbub of the main room. Connor Degnan's Art was on full display, too, and it was a fun side quest from the main exhibit. A back room also had some brightly colored pieces that seemed to be part of the permanent or semi-permanent collection. Turnout was just right; the room was filled up but not overstuffed to the point of claustrophobia. The curators maximized the wall space with a lively and varied collection. Quality varied but there were definitely some standout pieces. To me the big problem with reproducing graffiti style art in a gallery is it loses a lot of its vitality stripped of its proper lawless context. It loses a lot of its street cred if you take it off the streets. Nevertheless it was fun to see and a good crowd to see it. A DJ played old school hip hop and the snack table was legit. The rap letters over the front door with the gallery name was a nice touch; I feel like that's not just for this show and is gonna be around. I hope so. Hope this gallery is gonna stick around, too. It could really go either way with this type of establishment.

    Wunderkammer is an awesome space nestled in the 07 neighborhood. It has great neighbors with Bravas…read moreright next door. The art gallery is broken down into a few spaces, all winding into each other through doorways. The space is also used for events, weddings, receptions, yoga classes, you name it. I was lucky enough to check it out last Friday during the opening ceremony of "Crop It" - an exhibit being put on by the Visual Arts program at IPFW. The displays looked beautiful in the space and the talent was immense! They had a bar set up serving beer and wine (I don't think they can serve spirits?). The beers were local which was a plus! Parking can be an issue so be prepared to park on the street / potentially several blocks away. Can be a bit sketchy at night. Overall the space was lovely and I can't wait to attend another event or check out a new show sometime soon!

    So glad that an event happened to bring my attention to The Wunderkammer gallery. This was new for…read moreme and probably a place i would not have planned to see. Now I'm going to watch for future events here just to see and learn about the talented artists in our community. What a nice venue with creative people who seem to care very much about bringing together community and connecting people. Clearly they are passionate about what they do and the artists they support. Look for parking behind the building and the main entrance is there also (even though the street address is Fairfield Ave, parking is behind). A daylight visit is also in order to see the murals painted by local on the buildings exterior. I'm not sure how often artists works are rotated, but I asked how to learn about things happening there and was told the best way is to follow the Wunderkammer Company on Facebook. If you have an interest in local artists, check them out.
