Support Night Owl Gallery

In August 2023, after months of sweat and tears, renovation dust, and lots of love, Night Owl Gallery opened its doors in Baltimore’s Station North Arts District after being open for 6 years in Highlandtown. From the start of this chapter, I’ve poured everything I have (financially and emotionally) into building a space where art, community, and connection could thrive.

But we need your help to make it to the end of this chapter and hopefully into the next.

The Honest Truth

Since Day 1, it's been a struggle to bring in enough sales to cover our overhead. As the owner, I’ve done everything I can to keep the gallery running—quietly dipping into personal savings and stacking up credit card debt just to cover rent, utilities, and essential expenses.

Unexpected costs like major HVAC and electrical repairs pushed us even closer to the edge.

Despite the appearance of a thriving gallery, the reality behind the scenes has been tough. And now, we’re nearing the end of our rope.

Why I'm Asking for Help

I'm launching this GoFundMe to:

Pay off outstanding debts tied to the gallery’s operating costs

Fund exhibitions and programming through the end of our lease (October 2025)

Lay the foundation for a potential future home for Night Owl, if we raise enough

Every dollar raised will help ease the burden of what's been carried behind the curtain—keeping the doors open a little longer for the community we love.

What You Can Still Experience

Night Owl isn’t done yet! We have a full schedule of exhibitions, performances, and events through October (including all of our EROScape programming [All EROScape Event Tickets ] and Jonah Brock and Rory Holcomb’s solo exhibitions in September), and we hope you’ll join us. And obviously, if you’d prefer to support by buying art or merchandise, we’d absolutely love that too. ❤️ I have been doing my best to make works available online but that takes a lot of time and energy, so while some pieces are available online, the best way to experience everything is in person.

I am Grateful

I want to deeply thank everyone who has supported Night Owl Gallery already—with your purchases, commissions, grants, donations, and love. You’ve helped us make it this far, and I’m so proud of what we’ve built.

We just need a little more help to close this chapter with grace—and maybe, if we’re lucky, begin writing the next one.

From the bottom of my heart: thank you.
