Westology represented a movement of Street artist, Music Producers, Skaters & Photographers here on the West Coast. Come late 2019 the concept for Open Gallery emerged. At the beginning it was used as a space for local visual artist to create, then slowly transitioning into a full time Art Gallery & Print Space.
