The gallery is well underway in its expansion! We have completely gutted the recording studio space and are now mudding over the new sheet rock that was put up 3 days ago!
Within two weeks, we are hoping to have the expansion completed. This will give us an additional 600 sqft to showcase some AMAZING work!
We will be keeping you posted on its progress.
RISING MOVED! We're now located at 800 Jackson in the up and coming convention center area. We are temporarily located on the first floor of the Office Equipment Company building as we have the basement built out for our final destination. We are open and will present shows in the temporary space. RISING represents artists from across the country but maintains a great selection of local Dallas area artists.

Co-Owner and Artist Bryan has a show!
We know it's late notice but please be sure you check out Bryan's new paintings at Art251 this March!
From Art251:
Our March exhibit - Temple of Flora - signaling the imminent arrival of Spring kicks off today, March 6. The Opening Reception is this evening, March 6, from 6-9pm.It’s free, there’s food and wine and soda, and best of all there’s some gorgeous new art from Dallas artist Bryan Wetz. He’ll be with us as well.
Bryan’s work for this show features panels and canvases of single flowers, each composed in a subtle and unique way. You’ll see colorful irises, daffodils, roses, lilies and more (notice my limited botanical vocabulary). The exhibit runs until April 4, 2009.
We encourage you to come and see these fine, original paintings in the art251 gallery that has now become a spring garden (without the allergies), and to meet Bryan Wetz in person. In addition to being a talented artist, he is also an interior and retail designer (he designed our space), a custom furniture maker and an ex-Keller resident. Bryan is a product of the Oklahoma Arts Institute at Quartz Mountain and an alumni of Oklahoma State University where he earned a degree in Interior Design.

URBAN Two Twenty Seven Opening
What a great time we had last night! We had such a spectacular turn out with both new and old faces, all of which were awesome to see. 3 of the 4 showing artists attended the reception and they were very pleased with the response they received on their work.
I think my favorite part of the evening was getting to see everyone's expression when they came in to see the new show. I believe everyone was very pleasantly surprised with our gallery and the collection of talented artists we have on display here.
We tried a new thing last night with mimosas, although I kept forgetting to offer them to people, so the majority of the guests sipped on wine and beer. Next time I will try to be more vigilant in offering the mimosas because now I have two jugs of orange juice that need drank. Anyone thirsty?
Also, we've been having a small problem with our emails. It seems many of you aren't receiving them...maybe they are being sent to your junk mail folder? Please e-mail us if you are having problems because we'd really like to resolve the issue so we can see you at our events!
Well, I need to get back to uploading event pictures to risinggallery.com website, so I'll touch base with everyone again soon.

Getting Ready for the URBAN Two Twenty Seven Opening
We are just SO excited about the opening of the URBAN Two Twenty Seven show this Friday. On Monday we recieved Ben Pierce's work from Missouri and started to hang it. In addition to Debbie Klein's rad work and Amanda Dunnavant's watercolors we're just so pleased! Maybe I'm the only one here who feels like a kid at Christmas, but honestly rotating and prepping for new shows is one of my favorite things to do at Rising.
I hope everyone can make it out. We are expecting a fabulous turn-out which can really only be made possible by your support! The event runs from 6-10 pm so there's pleasnty of time to drop in for a drink and a smile. See ya Friday!!
