Description:
Located in the heart of the Historic Fondren Arts District, Sanaa Gallery occupies 2000 square feet inside of the beautiful Fondren Corner building. It features an exciting blend of two-dimensional art (paintings, photography, drawings, etc.), three-dimensional sculpture and artisan jewelry. From powerful impressionistic paintings to elegant figurative work to intricate wood burnings to detailed free-standing sculpture to expressive non-representational abstracts - we offer an eclectic collection of work that reflects the soulfulness of Jackson.
Sanaa Gallery also offers Full Service Custom Framing. A state-of-the-art ordering system allows computer visualization of customers' artwork and framing options on a large screen monitor, alleviating the anxiety that comes from choosing framing for valued items. We only use carefully selected mouldings and framing materials, as well as up-to-the-minute techniques to insure that customers' treasures are preserved for future generations to enjoy.
Sanaa Gallery opened its doors in July 2008 as the materialization of a vision for the Jackson arts scene. Its proprietor, Lorenzo D. Gayden, saw that there was a need and a market for a more diversified art scene. An accomplished artist himself, Mr. Gayden wanted to create a venue that welcomed all artistic expression, especially that which emerged from the vibrant African-American community that nurtured and shaped his world view. As a highly experienced custom framer and a classically trained artist, he brings a wealth of knowledge perfectly suited to give Sanaa a competitive edge in providing framing services.
In Sanaa, patrons will experience a gallery space designed to provide the sophisticated ambiance of larger metropolitan areas with the warmth that is particular to Jackson.
