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.

CURRENT EXHIBITOR

TOM DeLORENZO
Fine Art Photographer

The career transition of moving from advertising to editorial portrait projects came with a concerted effort from me. Little did I know that- at the time- this transition would bring me to my biggest professional accomplishments. Over what I recollect as an 8yr span, I changed my direction entirely to shooting musicians, who were the perfect subjects for my taste. There was a strong sense of self through their hard work to elevate their own craft as well as equally respecting mine, they gave themselves completely over to me to bring out their strength and singularity within my images.

This portrait grouping of artists and producers, strongly influenced by my early 70’s b/w roots of gritty, grainy, deep blacks, tells as much about each subject as it does me . Forever remaining the figurativist, I always incorporate that state of mind into my work. I consider “…what does this image need…” as I take what the camera’s limited capability of recording gives me and bring it to my mind’s eye when shooting. And in post, I bring its “needs” to fruition. I give little thought to the time factor as the final image becomes just what I saw when shooting.

Many opportunities have come to me as viewers continue to imagine themselves in my photographs and want to see themselves within my work as point of purchase vehicles for the music, gig posters, website use or even just hanging on their own walls as fine art.

Even after these many years, my passion projects inspire me to mature as an artist .
