Art with an entrepreneurial edge is what the 99¢ Plus Gallery is all about. The Brooklyn, NY storefront gallery is curated by artists for the public and artists to inspire a sense of community and collaboration. Founded by Simran Johnston, Zoe Fisher, and Riley Strom, the concept of the space is all-inclusive where "production, exhibition, and consumption of art and objects can exist under one roof."
The gallery has a partnership with Zoe's Handjob Gallery/Store and a rotation of exhibits. The current exhibition is The Plant Show, which focuses on homes and the functional objects within them, whether it be presented in an abstract or practical way.
The exhibit was so popular that it has been extended until September 25th.
As for the next exhibit at 99¢ Plus? TELEVISION will open October 7th. It is explained as the exploration of the stationary object that creates a sense of togetherness and transports people through time and space. Each piece will be in gray scale to make visitors feel as though they're in a black-and-white TV world.
