the JEM gallery

cool art and easy to deal with when buying art, makes it a breeze to collect nice moderately price art work by up and comers and old hands at the game

Truly outrageous! OK, I guess that’s my age showing if that’s the first thing that comes to mind when I see «Jem.» Anyway, this postage-​stamp sized gallery puts on some interesting exhibitions, and it’s fun to look in the windows when I’m going over to Our Town next door. When I was there last, they were showing a collection of woodcuts of famous movie cowboys, and I have a soft spot for cowboys.
If you brave a peek into the back room, it’s full of interesting stuff too, like Elvis pictures. I wasn’t entirely sure if I was supposed to be looking back there, as the woman sitting at her desk in the gallery was giving me the eye. But there aren’t any «off limits» signs, so perhaps she was just watching out for her space. Art galleries are always fun, especially when you can just visit some art for free.
