It’s been a whirlwind few months around here—one exciting announcement after another. (And spoiler alert: there’s another one coming your way next week!) As we take a moment to reflect on the summer, we’re genuinely amazed by the numbers and the amount of art that’s passed through the gallery doors. Thank you, as always, for following along and supporting the team and our artists—it means the world. P.S. When you get to the Diet Coke slide—feel free to give your best guess in the comments.

Me: jokes on you, it’s just 10,000 photos of art 🤷‍♀️🎨 Plot twist: hacker leaves inspired. ✨ #art #gallerylife #cameraroll #toomuchart #artlover #lizlidgettgallery

From bold primaries to soft pastels and everything in between, @loganledfordart’s textured acrylics comes in so many colors — making it easy to find one that perfectly matches your style and space. 💫 Logan’s work has been reviewed by @gardenandgun, @lsuartanddesign, @washingtonpost, and @bostonglobe. Her work is simply about women, expressing voluptuous lines/curves that are sensual yet soft. The emotions change through time and vary like an array of color. #womeninspiringwomen #womensupportingwomen Now LIVE as of 10 AM CST.

The content you’ve all been waiting for: @taylorswift art Easter eggs. 👀 After her @newheightshow debut, I couldn’t help but notice what was in the background … I’m telling you, they’ve got to be clues—from female figure limelights to orange eras before her time. The Gallery Insiders got the full scoop! This is just a peek. Follow along for more art secrets you may not have noticed—it’s my party trick. #thelifeofashowgirl #taylorswift #eastereggs #arteducation

We spotted a color trend—and yes, it involves @taylorswift—so of course we’re in. Orange and green in art? Absolutely yes. 🧡💚 Featuring the lovely @gina_julian, @neicyfrey and more in our take on The Life of an *Art* Girl. P.S. Catch that little sneak peek of what’s to come from @bekahworleyco tomorrow? 👀 #thelifeofashowgirl #taylorswift #ts12

Something fresh and bold is coming to transform your space—and trust us, your walls will thank you. 🎨🏡 This exciting collaboration has been over a year and a half in the making, and it’s packed with nothing short of amazing design. We’re aiming to officially launch in October 2025, just a couple more months to go! Today, we’re shooting at @lizlidgett’s own home—become a gallery insider to catch exclusive behind-the-scenes content! 🎥🍿 Here’s a hint: our collaborator is a Midwest friend based in the cheese state… Wisconsin!🧀 #comingsoon #reveal #staytuned

Feast your eyes on @bekahworleyco’s latest collection. 🥕🍅🍓Originally from Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, Bekah now lives and creates out of her home in northern Minneapolis. Known for her bold, folk-inspired forms, she brings everyday objects to life using fluid acrylics—often painted on thrifted treasures. Step into her delicious world of color, creativity, and flavor. 🎉 This crave-worthy collection of ten drops this Friday at 10 AM!

And understandably so. The striking contrast between the dark background and vivid florals is incredible. @jenna_brownlee is known for her hyperrealistic flower paintings—and now she’s added a snake, making the piece feel both surprising and beautiful. It’s always an honor to be included in @thejealouscurator’s daily art delivery, and Jenna was featured last week! Catching the world’s attention—if you don’t already know—allow us to introduce you to Jenna’s hand-painted floral magic. 🌺🐍✨

Abstract with a pirouette of perfection! 🩰 @sarahjaclynschwartz lets these bright colors twirl, leap, and jeté right off the canvas—and even onto the frame. Based in California, Sarah has showcased her work in @theotherartfair, the @bhartshow and more. Now LIVE - it’s your turn to take center stage. 💫 Swipe to see all 10 pieces in this cohesive & and easily collectible collection starting at $280. 👀🎨

From one small business to another, it’s good to know I’m not the only one. I absolutely love this trend. I assure you, the unhinged list will continue (even after a professional book deal is announced!). Here are some highlights from the very first year of the gallery but let’s be honest—the most unhinged things we do as business owners are often the ones we block from our memory, right? …

Is it a photo or a collage? ✂️✨ Explore @paigeledomstudio stunning new release featuring her cut-paper realism and all your favorite feathered friends! These cuties have now all sold (in under an hour, congratulations Paige on the sellout!), but she still has a few other collage works available - featuring hot sauce and fish on ice. Her work is full of personality and we love it.

In less than 24 hours, you pushed the book to #1 in multiple Amazon categories—and I’m honestly blown away. Writing a book is a deeply humbling process. You spend so much time hoping it will matter to someone and you just proved that it does. Preorders aren’t just numbers—they’re a sign that this work, this idea, is something you want in your life. That means the world to me. Truly. Thank you for showing up, for supporting this project, and for saying yes to more creativity, more beauty, and more art. I’m so grateful, friends. Get your preorder of Art For Everyone, arriving in April 2026!

A little different from her solo florals, these new works by @jenna_brownlee are breathtaking. The high-contrast backgrounds, the coiled snakes, the detailed butterfly wings—they’re rich in both color and subject. The team can’t stop staring. Four new paintings are now available! 🌺🐍🦋

Twirling into the weekend with the help of @michellearmas007. 💃🏻💫 From canvas to pleated skirts (snagged at @anthropologie!), her painted totems bring joy. She’s an art star, and it’s so much fun to see all the ways her creations make their way into the world. Two small framed pieces are still available at the gallery!

A window display refresh deserves a moment on the feed. 🌸🌿 It’s always a fun computer break to play around with the smalls and style them on the pedestals. As you walk by, they’re a splash of color—and my favorite thing is seeing noses pressed to the glass for a closer peek.

Think again. Gallery owner and art lover, Liz here. 👋🏼 I believe art is for everyone, and through my artist representation, team members, and business choices, I prioritize making art accessible and joy-filled. My goal is to help you find a piece of art you’ll love forever—one that holds both financial and emotional value. Follow along and start loving art for art’s sake—no strings attached. #artgallery #artcollector #artlover

First up, @the.allisonjames this week. Next week, @paigeledomstudio and @sarahjaclynschwartz. And the cherry on top? @loganledfordart the last week of August. Our lineup of online releases this month is STACKED. There’s so much to look forward to—but we’re not quite ready to say goodbye to summer. Thankfully, these happy new art collections are the pick-me-up we need. Head over to the artist page on our website to see the full calendar!

The name of the game is STRING 🧵 Two artists in our newest show, @anna__michele__ and @hayleysheldon, work with fiber to create pattern and depth in their work. Each collection is unique, and we love how their individual techniques offer something distinct. Hayley’s whimsical, organic shapes are created with wood frames, while Anna’s meticulously straight lines are perfectly planned. Which draws you in—the fluid structures or the precise lines?

Oh, hi! There’s a new face around here—meet Lauren, our new Digital Content Coordinator. 👋🏼 Originally from Illinois and a graduate of @iowastateu, she brings experience with (and a love of) small businesses. We’re excited to have her on the team!

More highlights to share from the newest show, Material Matters, featuring mixed media pieces—string, wood, fabric, aluminum, ceramics and more. Each one deserves its own dissection in how it was made, and I love that about it. We’re open Saturday from 10am to 4pm—stop by today, say hi and see the show!

NOW LIVE ⚡️ Material Materials, the newest group show, featuring seven artists with mixed-media works that challenge our assumptions about process, texture and form. Using unexpected combinations of materials, each piece invites viewers to look closer and ask: How was this made? This show celebrates the tactile, layered, and often mysterious nature of mixed media, where the materials themselves become central to the meaning. Enjoy the show!

The final look before it goes live tomorrow—that’s always part of the show process. Each team member adds their finishing touches: leveling, photographing, labeling—it all comes together here. Our latest group show goes live tomorrow, and we’re excited to share it. Come back Friday, July 25, at 10 AM CT!

Okay that was fun. Thanks for chatting with us, friends. You guys are the best.

@joykinna's work pretty much has it all--strong and impactful while using neutrals that feel soothing and earthy. Artwork that boldly says "I'm here" without being overwhelming, you know what I mean?

Before every show is taken off the walls, we like to play around with fun combinations of what remains before it goes into storage. Even without seeing the other work to be included, it feels like every artist knows exactly what they need to create—and together, it all shines. Each artist and piece is unique, yet somehow everything feels intentionally curated to play together. @tessabrownart clouds, @karinolah landscapes, and @jaimemccarrierart portraits make a complete, immersive visual experience. Do you feel it? 🌊👙⛅️

Want the beetle roundup? 🪲💫 Artist @kevin.brent.morris, based in Kansas City, is known for his detailed, lifelike paintings of these creepy-crawly friends. He became a full-time artist just last year (good for you, Kevin!), and 60+ of these beetles at the gallery found a home since then. Here’s a look at the works currently available. These are the only bugs you’ll want in your house. Which one’s your favorite?

One of the most talked-about pieces in the gallery: @paige.barnes.dorsey snakes. Delicate pearls shaped into something so many people fear—it’s striking, unexpected and stunning. Swipe through for a video peek all together. This collection stops people in their tracks and draws more comments than most—and rightly so. 🐍💎✨

Sure, we have 36K friends that get their daily hit of joy—but you’re missing out. So consider this your invite. We’re a feel-good gallery bursting with color and the work of 70+ inspiring artists who are making their mark. Follow along for a fresh stream of creativity and beauty—because your scroll deserves more art. 🖼️💫

This piece strikes a beautiful balance—subtly neutral, yet somehow bursting with color. That contrast is exactly what I love about it. And the sweet title, I Know Your Life By Heart, is the perfect finishing touch. @meghanbustard’s flowing brushwork and thoughtfully placed stripes are simply lovely. As one of our international artists based in Canada, we’re so grateful to share her work and bring these stunning pieces into the country for everyone to enjoy.

Every shade of pink and red in this bold duo. These two are the first to greet you at the door, set on rotating easels we love to update—showcasing fresh pairings for clients (and, let’s be honest, for us too). The unexpected combos are always our favorites. ❤️💗💙

Whew, it was a big day—100 pieces of art sold on the first day! But I have good news, friends—there are still more treasures to claim. We’re so grateful for the community that shows up to buy art, support these artists, and cheer on our small business. Thank you, thank you. We’re now 24 hours into the sale, and there are still so many goodies under $500! Here are some of the team’s favorites that still need a home, along with a few snapshots of what our launch day looked like.

Here’s the launch day update! We have the best clients—and they’re all over the world. From near and far, these art collectors know and support our mission: art is for everyone. Over 50 pieces under $500 are still available and looking for their forever home. ❤️ Hop over to the website and shop the collection!

Liz and Tina talk some highlights from the sale today!

Aaaand, it’s live! I’m so excited about this collection—with smaller works you can collect in a mix-and-match way that reflects your personality and style. I also love placing smaller pieces in unexpected spots around my home—bookshelves, corner walls, above a door. Now available on the website: 150+ pieces of art under $500. Can’t wait to see where these end up!

Want to know what we’re excited about? These painted cloudscapes by @tessabrownart. These three will soon be coming down off the walls and stored in our backroom (until they find a home) as we prepare for the next show—but our love for the dreamy brushstrokes remains. The cool blues and warm sunsets—you can feel it all here. Which one is your favorite mood? ⛅️

It’s one of our busiest weeks! Twice a year, we launch a new under $500 collection—and for both our team and our clients, it’s an exciting rush. Our forever goal is to make art accessible and to remind you that art is for everyone. That’s why we love seeing these small pieces find fast homes. With just two days to go, here’s a quick recap of today’s to-do: ✔️ Boxes stacked ✔️ Inventory counted ✔️ Stickers placed ✔️ Art to debut this Friday at 10am CT 🎉 #artgallery #affordableart #artisforeveryone #artforall #collectart

The countdown is on! Just three days until Holiday in July—a new collection of 150+ works under $500. Here are a few surprises I’ve spotted (and loved) as they’ve come through the gallery doors: – A sweet collection of birds on mini canvases by @trevormikula – Striped edges by @aneeshahstudio – Legs (that you know and love!) from @angelachrusciakiblehm—just at a smaller size – Ornate frames paired with @faresmicuephotography’s bold portraiture – Never-before-seen works on paper by @the.allisonjames – Neutral patterns on sculpted canvas from @rebeccasternart – More solo butterflies from @aghartpainting ...and so much more. Set your alarms, this Friday at 10am CT it all goes live on the website!

Okay, which one is your favorite? There are five pieces total, and your favorite today might be different tomorrow—that’s what we love about art. Inspiration evolves. Feelings shift. Let us know your current favorite in the comments—we want to know what’s speaking to you right now.👇 #artgallery

Watermelon all weekend, please. 🍉☀️🇺🇸 Here’s the gallery’s edit of red, white and blue (and a little bit of every other color). Happy holiday weekend, friends!

XOXO from Valencia, Spain 💋 @monicajenjo’s newest collection drops tomorrow! Going live July 2 at 10am CT—eleven new hyperrealistic works that blur the line between painting and sculpture. Think glossy balloons and bows so real, they look like they’re about to pop off the wall.

Hey, Hannah here 👋 Today @lizlidgett and I had a great convo about a design scheme inspired by @hillaryhoworthart’s piece in the current show. The key takeaway? Balance—mixing organic patterns with bold, geometric art. Since the artwork features warm tones, I leaned into cooler hues for the wallpaper and fabrics to create contrast. Ultimately, I could talk art and design all day. Reach out if you ever want to chat! #interiordesign #artanddesign #artfulinteriors

Soaking up the best parts of summer ☀️ @jaimemccarrierart’s painted portraits feel like snapshots of perfect moments. Each one is either someone familiar or somewhere you wish you were: in a swimsuit, sitting next to the water. Our latest show, By the Water, features 5+ new works, all framed and ready to hang. Summer all year round, brought to you by Jaime! #artgallery #coastalart

We get a lot of the same design questions, so our Director of Design, Hannah, is here to clear a few things up—because if one client’s wondering, chances are others are too! (She’s even schooling the gallery side lately. 👏🏼) Today’s topic: the difference between architects and interior designers—and why you often need both. Swipe through and let’s break it down. ➡️

You don’t need to be a millionaire. Here, you’ll find original pieces of art that speak to you and fit your budget. Many emerging artists sell one-of-a-kind works for less than the cost of dinner out. Support real artists, style with meaning and keep your wallet happy. Art is for everyone, friends. 🧡 #artgallery #affordableart #collectart

What’s a cyanotype? 🌿 It’s a historic and unique way of making images using sunlight and special chemicals. The final piece turns a beautiful sky or ocean blue—that’s why it’s called “cyanotype” (“cyano” means blue). @kristen.abbott.art’s collection of botanical silhouettes is dreamy and drops this Friday morning. Done on silk, each piece has a slightly sheer quality. Fun fact: Cyanotypes were first used in the 1840s to copy notes and architectural drawings—that’s where the word “blueprint” comes from!

Well my sister stopped by @lizlidgettgallery and she's my hype woman. She also means business so you better listen to her. Thanks, @omgiloveyourdress

Our most "clicked on" painting this weekend was this stunning piece by @hillaryhoworthart --it's the neutrals for me today.

Giving these new @nnnnnate mirrors a little feed moment—because each scribble shape paired with a mirror is brilliant. They’ll make you do a double-take walking by. Based in Canada, Nate handcrafts these wooden sculptures with built-in mirrors. They’re perfect as a standout piece or styled in multiples. Only four left—head to the website!

Oh, it’s happening again … and it’s our favorite time of year (maybe yours too). Holiday in July is back—featuring a brand-new collection of works under $500 by our artists, going live Friday, July 11. The 21-day countdown starts now! Mark your calendars, and in the meantime, check out a few of the cuties headed our way for the release. ✨

Today we’re celebrating freedom, creativity, and the incredible power of self-expression. In honor of Juneteenth, we’re spotlighting the radiant work of @faresmicuephotography—an artist whose surreal self-portraits tell bold, beautiful stories of identity and imagination. Her images speak volumes without saying a word. Let’s keep lifting up voices, visions, and vibrant perspectives. 🖤❤️💛💚

Mix, match, and make it fun 💙 @katiecraigart’s wood panel stripes are 12x16” each—perfect for pairing two, three, four … or go big with all six for a bold, statement wall. Deep sea blues, lush greens, and that pop of ochre that I love. They’re all waiting for you on the site!

This show is my summer vibe, and I’m happy to share it.⛱️ Coastal, bright and summertime-dreamy—enjoy the views! Featuring nine women artists, By the Water, on display for the next four weeks. #artgallery #coastalart

Instagram, meet Berkeley! Our newest addition to the team, she’s the friendly face you’ll now see on Saturdays when you stop into the gallery. A Des Moines native, she’s currently a student at @drakeuniversity and is teaching art classes at the @desmoinesartcenter this summer. We’re excited to have her on the team! Stop in today, 10am - 4pm, and say hi. 👋🏼

JUST IN 🌊 By the Water, featuring nine artists who capture the feeling of summer—whether it’s the shimmer of sunlight on the ocean, a quiet lake at dusk, or abstract interpretations of coastal light. With a range of styles and mediums, the collection brings together soft blues, sandy neutrals, and the breezy calm that defines a day by the water. Altogether, it feels like ocean waves in art form.

Can’t give it all away just yet … but here’s a little peek at what’s coming tomorrow. The phone’s been ringing off the hook for these @taylorcoxart brushes, and new framed smalls by @karinolah are always a fan favorite.⁠ Do you spot that bit of @katiecraigart plaid in the corner? More pattern goodness from her drops tomorrow, too.⁠ This coastal collection goes live in the morning—come back Friday for a dose of *visual* sea breeze!

Work with a view 🖼️💫 We’re hiring a full-time Digital Content Coordinator to lead social media, content creation, client experience, analytics, and more. The gallery already has a strong online presence—now we’re looking for someone with the initiative and experience to take it to the next level. All the details are on our website!

It was bittersweet taking down the anniversary show. I loved having every artist displayed on the wall. But a new show is going up this week, and the summertime theme is making the transition easier—these works are warm, nostalgic and relaxed. Like laying-under-an-umbrella-on-the-beach kind of relaxed. Opening this Friday: new works from nine artists, including the piece pictured here by @jordanc.gallery, titled Saltwater Sugar Pop. ⛱️

Picture it: summertime in Sicily—gelato in hand, sandy beaches at your feet. Inspired by this dreamy Mediterranean scene, @amanda_mclaurin_ created her Italian Summer Block series: four string-wrapped cotton pieces on wood panel. Each one captures a slice of Italian sunshine. 🍨🇮🇹🍋

Let’s celebrate the 🌈 RAINBOW 🌈. Happy #PrideFest to our @ccprideiowa and @eastvillagedsm friends this weekend. The gallery is now open again on Saturdays from 10am to 4pm—stop by and see the rainbow on display in the art! It sure is pretty on this @ettavee glass heart.

If this doesn’t make you want to jump in the water, I don’t know what will. Our next group show features nine artists, each using colors, styles, and imagery that capture the essence of a summer day. @jordanc.gallery’s painted umbrellas, @katiecraigart’s preppy color combos, @taylorcoxart’s sculpted waves, @jaimemccarrierart’s stylish portraiture—plus so much more. This collection is arriving at just the right time, and it’s an invitation to bring summer into your home so it never has to leave. Opening next week, on Friday, June 13! 🏖️☀️💦

And we’re hiring (again)! We’re looking for a full-time Digital Content Coordinator to manage social media, content creation, analytics and more. The gallery already has a strong online presence and we’re looking for someone that has the initiative and experience to take us to the next level. Find all the job details on the website and help us spread the word (please and thank you). 🙏🏼

Allison first met many of these artists last May during our 5-year anniversary show—and her love for their work has only grown since. As @the.allisonjames is a true color lover, her *current* top ten includes @aghartpainting, @banyanbridges, @bekahworleyco, @jimmynavarroart and more. This is our favorite thing: artists supporting artists. #artgallery #artistssupportartists

A continuation of the Equinox series @hellochristinaflowers began for our May anniversary show, each piece is painted with acrylic and ink on raw canvas. The series explores themes of possibility and becoming. First trained as an architect, Christina brings thoughtful intention to every shape and color. She says, “Painting requires me to be completely present. My work reflects moments of total awareness—like diving into a cold wave or stepping into sunlight—capturing them to be shared and experienced again.”

We’ve always helped people find art they love. Now, we’re helping them design the rooms where those pieces live. Thoughtful design isn’t about perfection—it’s about creating a space that feels good. Our approach makes design accessible, affordable, and flexible for what you need. Want to learn more about how we combine art + design? Let’s chat! #artanddesign #artfulinteriors

We’re talking a lot about @the.allisonjames this week, and here’s why: she has an incredible eye for style, she’s said the sweetest things about her artist peers, and her own collection brings so much joy. Every detail—down to the titles of her works—is thoughtful and energetic. We’ve always been Team Allison. ✨📣

Hang out with the amazing @the.allisonjames and @lizlidgett while they talk about work by @bekahworleyco @gina_julian @banyanbridges and @mrgiusti

The prettiest arrangement, with @aneeshahstudio’s landscape as the shining star. As we continue to work with home stagers, realtors, and designers, it’s always a joy to see the final result. The furniture is placed, the greenery fluffed, and the art leveled—together, it sings a lovely song. 🖼️: Like a Miracle Brewing, Oil on canvas (framed), 24 x 36 in, available. #artfulinteriors

I want to be HERE. 🌊🌤️ @karinolah’s mixed media landscapes offer a window into picturesque summer scenes—cool water, warm sun and rolling clouds. Each piece is created with both paint and fabrics layered on paper, then framed in gold. Even at a small size, Karin’s work makes a significant impact.

Art-on-loan means we get to see these pieces “in the wild” and it’s fun to see how the art truly personalizes the space (as we knew it would). Designer @toledogeller reached out asking for art to place in her @mansioninmay curation—and it was an easy yes! Thank you for the invite, Jessica and team. It’s all so beautiful—every thoughtful design detail alongside the art. Photographer: @jacobsnavely

Our designer, Hannah, put together a beautiful vision for a curated space featuring this just-released painting by @brittanyatkinsonart—and what a dream. The artist gives each portrait a name, so here meet Azahea. Acrylic on canvas with a white floater frame, 31 x 25 in.

Tina and Lily here 👋 giving this wall some love at @desmoineslibrary! The gallery has facilitated over 150 murals in central Iowa—it’s a passion project we don’t talk about enough. With that experience under our belt … want to know three secrets about painting mural? 🎨 Secret #1: The wall is a canvas—but it needs prep! Before a single brushstroke, we spend time prepping the surface, whether it’s cleaning, priming or patching. If you skip it, the mural could peel or fade way too soon. 🖌️ Secret #2: The first sketch is not pretty. That beautiful final mural? It starts with a lot of sketching, taping and mapping. It’s messy looking, but you have to trust the process—it’s essential. 💡 Secret #3: Lighting changes everything. Whether it’s an exterior or interior mural matters, and when indoors—lighting affects how colors look. Cool lights can make warm tones look dull, and shadows can mess with details. So you need to plan the palette based on how the room is actually lit (and test paint colors accordingly). 🌿 Bonus Secret: We always go a little off-script. Even with a detailed plan, the final touches often adapt to the space—maybe a plant, a chair, or a window line shifts the composition. We tweak colors, angles, or shapes so the mural fits right now, not just on paper.

We’re always thinking of new, interesting ways to get art into your hands. Art turned digital (swipe right 👉🏼)! New images are available for your art TV. Partnering with eight gallery artists, we’ve just released a new collection—100 limited editions of each. It’s yet another way to collect and enjoy art in your home! Bonus points if you collect the original to hang nearby … #arttv #frametv
