Our First Pop Up Shop 2021
It all began with an idea. Sitting outside on our west facing back patio, I was brainstorming with Karyn, day dreaming about opening our own gallery. We would call it, Gallery 646 and it would happen right in our own home; in the little room off the side of the kitchen we call, the arch room.
Fast forward 3 years to 11:30pm April 30th 2021, we were adding the final touches to prepare for our grand opening of the Den10 Studio Pop Up Shop. We combined all our art and creations to populate our first in-home store… with potential customers coming!! For months, we furiously made prints, t shirts, framed artwork, got hats stitched, you name it! We curated vignettes throughout each corner of the arch room: a California surf corner, Noah’s line of Illality, a window full of never-before-seen apparel…
Waking up on May 1st 2021 was like Christmas morning. We had music going, donuts and mimosas ready to serve, and a full shop with all of our own creations. A day dream come true.
The turn out was incredible. Better than we could have dreamed. The support that was shown through our community was magical. We were so excited and grateful to see so many familiar and new faces!
We plan to continue with pop up shops, eventually opening a permanent shop. We wouldn’t be where we are today without the love, support, and excitement we have received from all of you. You make us want to keep going!
