Private Viewing Experience
The benefits of viewing art are well documented, from the dopamine boost in the brain to the profound influence creativity has on our minds. Having works of art in the home significantly and multifacetedly affects how you experience your living space. Rather than relegate art to the sole domain of museums and galleries, you can welcome meaningful artistic inspiration into your daily life. While sipping your morning coffee, you can find inspiration in the painting above your dining table, the brush strokes reminding you of an inspired person's creative spark and story. In an age where most furniture and homeware are factory-made, original hand-made artwork brings a distinctive energy into a room that you can see and can't help but feel. Art in the home enables you to find constant enjoyment and comfort and tells a one-of-a-kind story in the place where you spend so much of your time.
The internet has made exploring art more accessible than ever but limits the real-life connection and ability to visualize a piece in your home. Nothing can replace the sensation of viewing a painting in person. Historically, owning art has been associated with symbols of status and wealth. Over time, art ownership has evolved into a more holistic reflection of ourselves and an appreciation of craftsmanship. Now, everyone can own and appreciate beautiful works of creativity. Buying art can be exciting, but it is also daunting to determine where to start the search and how to find the art that genuinely speaks to you.
At 1515 Lincoln Gallery, we want to help you embrace this discovery process and find the perfect artwork with our new Private Viewing Experience. This brand-new offering invites first-time art buyers and seasoned collectors to make an appointment to visit our gallery on Lincoln Boulevard and explore our archive collection of hidden treasures and never-before-seen pieces I want to share with you. The in-person private viewing with me is a tailored experience that allows you to visit our extensive archive collection and discover artworks with unfettered access without pressure to buy. If you are out of the state of Oklahoma, we can set up a virtual experience via Zoom. The more you look at art, the more you realize what sparks a connection for you.
Owning art is an intimate act, and at 1515 Lincoln Gallery, we understand the creativity on your wall embodies your personality and values. When looking at art, you evoke powerful emotions and can reflect more deeply on your thoughts and feelings. Art shares a narrative through its subject matter and the emotions it sparks inside you. Each unique piece presents an artist's distinctive thoughts, feelings, or way of seeing the world. The completed artwork, in turn, tells a story of part of the owner's life. Walking around a home filled with meaningful artwork, you experience an individual history and discover the owner's relationship with each work, such as when the artist met on vacation, the friend made at a gallery, the surprise discovery in a vintage store, or the gift from a cherished family. With our Private Viewing Experience, we want to help you find artwork to share these values and foster deeper connections with those who visit your home.
In the personalized experience of a Private Viewing, we journey through our vast selection of found art and contemporary art created by our consigned artists worldwide. We share the unforgettable stories behind the art with each piece you view. With a glass of wine or coffee in hand, you will learn more about the 1515 Lincoln Gallery, discover new works, and imagine how they would enhance the environment in your home. As discussed in our previous blog, Thriving in Creative Spaces, experiences like this tap into the relationship between art, architecture, community, and a sense of place.
Art and interior design have a mutually beneficial relationship. Art is a focal point in your home, elevating all the aesthetic elements in a room. In Thriving in Creative Spaces, we discussed the importance of art in shaping a space: "The room's design can make you perceive art in a new way. Lighting, room size, color, room decor, and placement of artwork all play a crucial role in how the art influences the mood of the room." Whether you practice Feng Shui or simply enjoy a cohesive habitat, art never fails to improve the living environment. We discuss your unique style and life experiences throughout the private viewing to understand how art can foster a deeper relationship with your home and build a worthwhile collection.
By honing in on the intimate and collaborative nature of buying art with our Private Viewing Experience, we encourage genuine connections with people seeking a personal sense of place in their homes. Not only will we help you find your dream artwork, but you will also have an unforgettable memory for yourself or someone you love. Whenever you look at the art on your wall, you can reminisce on a memorable day at the 1515 Lincoln Gallery of creative discussion and exploration. The Private Viewing is an unforgettable experience that everyone can benefit from, whether buying your first piece of art, looking for a unique gift, growing your seasoned collection, or simply wanting to learn more about 1515 Lincoln Gallery's artworks.
