An art gallery built to be enjoyed.
Hang is a contemporary art gallery that connects artists with people who will love their creations. At Hang, people don't need to know insider art-world lingo — we speak plainly and directly to find your work a home with people who will love it.
How we see the art world
(As professed outsiders)
The art world is intimidating.
Galleries can feel unwelcoming to people on the outside — hidden, windows obscured, a sign with the last names of two random people and no other explanation, hours that are erratic. Once inside, it can feel like only a certain type of collector is welcome.
The show model is tricky.
Group shows are fun, and solo shows are an excellent achievement — but if you're ready to buy a piece to hang in your home today, this model is inconvenient. A single artist's or small group's limited works don't make for a good shopping experience for a couple with a Sunday afternoon to find a piece they love.
Hang gets your art into the right hands.
Here’s how
Space to fall in love
The galleryGround Floor Retail
We are investing in ground-floor retail with strong signage and big open windows that lead the eye to floor-to-ceiling art that pops.
Welcoming
Everyone who walks in is greeted and taken seriously — a low-pressure, attentive environment that gives people the confidence to make a purchase.
Coffee and Wine
Our space keeps consistent hours with a coffee and wine program that brings people in to enjoy the art and attracts more customers.
Location
Located between iconic bars and restaurants — Sugo, Shakers Club, RuRu Baked and more — the area carries heavy foot traffic of our ideal customer.
Built to sell
The strategyMaximalist Selection
Our walls are covered floor to ceiling with curated works, giving buyers the confidence they'll find the right piece — and be able to say the same to their friends.
A Longer Stay
Instead of short shows, we display work for six to twelve months, giving every piece time to find the right home.
Marketing and Sales
We've built successful brands and closed millions in sales with Fortune 500 companies across Canada and the United States. We're replicating that formula for Hang — and every one of our artists.
Online Sales
With over ten years of e-commerce strategy experience behind Pinterest, we run a strong digital marketing program that reaches a broader audience than the physical gallery alone.
