At Liz Lidgett Gallery + Design (2921 Ingersoll Avenue), customers can purchase fine art, commission custom art, and receive interior design services.
“We’re privileged to represent Iowa artists, along with a monthly Iowa artist feature, that promotes the local arts and culture of Des Moines. We work really hard to make sure artists feel valued (and paid!) for the good, important work they’re doing in the community,” said Tina Ehrlich, Director of Operations at Liz Lidgett Gallery + Design.
The gallery is free and open to the public, and it always pays artists for their work, supporting its core beliefs: artists deserve payment and art should be accessible to all people.
“We’d love to continue bringing in more foot traffic into the gallery. Because we sell so much online, it’s easy to focus on that part of the business—but we really want to share the space with nearby, local friends!” said Ehrlich.
Liz Lidgett, owner of Liz Lidgett Gallery + Design believes that “Art is for Everyone”, as stated on the windows of her gallery and the title of her new book.
