In 2016, the Onyx Art Gallery was founded. It is a breath of fresh air in downtown Phoenix, embodying the city’s evolving artistic spirit. Its distinctive aesthetic of contemporary space, clean lines, and upbeat energy was a hit in its original location. In March, Onyx refreshed Roosevelt Avenue with a fresh set of artworks and a live music series full of surprises. It was founded in Phoenix by Vernon and Kat Williams, former Chicagoans who have lived in the Valley since 2016. As art collectors and admirers, they carry a mix of urban and sophisticated vibes to Grand Avenue's historical site. The Onyx Gallery project is thriving as it connects visual and performing artists with art buyers and collectors. The valley's artistic community appreciates its well-curated exhibitions and inventive events. It created a venue that was useful to artists from Arizona, and the community supports it. They are now launching a national effort, “Onyx/Chi,” an evolving series of live music shows and visual art displays to be “pop-up” at venues in Chicago. The company is expanding to other places including Houston, Las Vegas, and San Diego to support the arts.
Reviews Summary
Wholesome reviews of The OAG venue and its owners. The reviews mention that the owners, Kathi and Vernon, are exceptional people to work with. They provide guidance and advice, just like they did to the 10th year high school reunion. The place is genuinely good, according to us by the guests. The atmosphere is inviting and beautiful ideal for a meet-up, party, or a live event. The 360° booth and general ambiance make The OAG a great place. The ambiance is described by people as a slice of California vibe which is quite attractive. It is also a cozy art gallery with a bar and many seats for a few people. This makes it an excellent event venue for different occasions. If you are looking for small gatherings and you want about 30 people, the place is just good. The OAG is a recommendable art gallery to hold events.
