Jamey's House of Music is the Philadelphia region's premiere intimate live concert venue, restaurant and bar.

Music inspires in many ways, primarily through sound - but also visually through the medium of the visual arts.

In order to honor the fullness of music's impact on our lives, we have added gallery space at our venue to display the artistic creations of those who devote themselves to music through painting and photography.

The exhibits not only extend the palette of the artists, who in most cases are also musicians, but allow our guests at our musical events to experience a fuller sensory impression of the all encompassing beauty inspired by music during our normal hours from Thursdays through Sundays.

The Little Gallery mounts rolling monthly non-exclusive exhibitions of anywhere from 6 to 40 works and hosts an opening night for the artist typically at the earliest Thursday Jazz At Jamey's night from 6 to 8pm, featuring live jazz by the Dave Reiter Trio and guest musicians from 8 to 10pm. There is no charge for admission. Our kitchen is open with a full dinner menu selection, and our Conshohocken Brewing Co bar is open as well, with happy hour food and drink discounts from 6 to 7pm. Artists are encouraged to put out press releases, advertise on social media and send invitations to patrons, art writers, bloggers and critics, and the mainstream press as well as the general public.

Potential exbibiting artists are pleased to note that the Little Gallery at JHOM only takes a 30% commission on sales. Submissions may be made by email to jamey@jameyshouseofmusic and include the number of pieces and sizes, exhibition title, type of media included, sample images, and artist bio including past shows. Submitted pieces must be no more than 60 lbs for large examples, framed, with picture wire mounting, attribution wall cards which we affix with removable foam tape, and an artist bio with headshot and description of the exhbit dry mounted on foamcore and a full manifest with pricing. Artists must assist during hanging. JHOM will settle all sales at the conclusion of the exhibit.

Fine art photography has long been the passion of the inspired artist since the dawn of the medium. In its purest form, it is an art form of subtraction- moving the unnecessary and distracting item(s) away and/or out of the image box. As a creator, it enables me to direct the attention of the viewer as well as the visual pathway through my work.

In these current years the medium has moved leaps and bounds mechanically from wet rooms to computers. One cannot ignore the methodology of analog methods being ever so present in our digital darkroom. Visually, our job hasn’t changed one iota; it is our mission to show the viewer that we often miss what’s right in front of us. And it’s also our commitment to show it in a uniquely singular way not often seen. This is exactly where one moves from creating photographs to creating artwork worthy of being made public.

This installation from three separate artists- all from different backgrounds and influences as well as their time in the saddle- illustrates a diversity of interests and execution that undoubtedly holds our attention and interest.

Interestingly enough, they have converged in expression, ability, capability, respect and love of the art.
