Meet Brandon Wisecarver
CanvasRebel, August 2024
“Before moving here, I had never been exposed to the concept of a vanity gallery. I might’ve walked away had I known how bad the foot traffic would be or how under-prepared the proprietor was to sell art. I was hungry for any movement forward so I proposed a deal with the aspiring curator. I would watch the shop for 2 weeks in exchange for my one-week solo show. They agreed and I was set down a path towards working with artists in the gallery setting.”

The Con Artist Collective, founded in 2010, is an art collective, community, workspace and gallery that hosts events, publications, collaboration, and products. While the core of the group is more or less permanent, the general majority of members are free to join and leave as they wish, each adding something of their own creative vision to the ever-expanding and changing ethos of the group.A veritable beehive of creativity, it lifts the concept of artists working together to a whole new level.”
Space of the Week: Welcome to the Clubhouse
New York Magazine, January 2014
”The working surface of the upper level is also painted in high-gloss red. The entrance of Con Artist Collective acts as a gallery space for the artists, where there are socials held every sixteen days. Or as Collective owner Brian Shevlin puts it, “Artists come for the space and stay for the community. There is something to be said for being in the trenches together.”
