Who We Are

Our Mission

The mission of Art Love Collective is to promote growth within the Lawrence/NE Kansas art community by…

  • Introducing emerging talents
  • Encouraging support and educational development
  • Creating an inclusive environment
  • Offering on-site creative spaces

…and providing a setting for artists to share their work with the community.

There is a gap in the Lawrence art scene.

The area has so many talented artists, but there is no permanent gallery/shop space that is exclusively for area artists to sell their work.

Our Reason

Additionally, younger artists and artists from marginalized groups have reported feeling disenfranchised by community art organizations that do exist in Lawrence. There is a need for a fresh, supportive, and less formal space for artists to hang out, meet, work, collaborate, teach, and sell their work.

Art Love Collective offers a safe space for artists to:
  • Sell work without paying a high commission
  • Teach classes and keep the tuition
  • Create art
  • Collaborate
  • Meet potential customers
  • Photograph their art
  • Network
  • Learn
  • Grow their business
  • Cultivate an online presence
  • Trade/share art supplies
  • Attend & host totally amazing events

Hollie Blakeney

Co-Founder

Hollie has always been interested in the intersection of art and community. This drove her to start her first gallery cooperative 18 years ago. Continuously curious, she dabbles in many art forms, including glassmaking, block printing, painting, cyanotype, jewelry, and collage. Her interest in diversity, inclusion, and intercultural studies, has taken her around the world where she spent many years living in Spain, Taiwan, and Ireland. She loves Lawrence and happily lives here with her husband and two very large, very cuddly dogs, Rosie and Claire.
