Let me start by saying… I am a big pussy. I wanted to open a physical art gallery in Chicago focusing on contemporary artists. After an exhaustive search for suitible locations, developing a anally-retentive detailed business plan, and crunching a ton of financials – I came to the unfortunate conclusion it didn’t make much sense to leave my cushy job and risk it all. The sad thing is I really wanted to stop being a corporate stooge and do what I’m truly passionate about.

That brings us to the present… http://www.fycgallery.com/ is our way of ‘dipping our toe in the water’. Hopefully, things go well and we can justify taking it to the next level by getting actual gallery space.

So what exactly is FYC Gallery??? We look at ourselves as an outlet – a place to be introduced to some of the most cutting-edge contemporary artists; a place for artists, progressive collectors & vagabonds to meet, chat, argue, and further this thing we call art; and also a place to buy some absolutely incredible pieces of art.

We realize that everyone and their momma thinks they are an art dealer these days so our mantra is simple. We only carry artists that we strongly believe in and also personally collect. We aren’t in this for the money – although my gf does like regular pedicures/manicures & I’m kinda a dining/wine snob – but that’s not saying we won’t take your money!

Welcome and enjoy.
