Galactic Gallery — Attraction in Highland Village

Having been a life long fan of Drew Struzan, I was quite surprised when I learned that his sole representation was through a local gallery, Galactic Gallery. Not only that but Galactic Gallery's primary exhibit was Drew's original art work. I quickly made an appointment to visit Galactic Gallery as soon as possible and the best part was it was literally in our backyard right here in Flower Mound.

We visited the gallery on a Saturday morning and the owner Ben Stevens, greeted us personally at the door. He showed us around and made us feel comfortable and free to view all the art at our own pace. Seeing Drew's original art up close was no different than seeing the actual brush strokes of a Van Gogh or Monet at the Louvre in Paris. In short, it was breath taking. Ben has created a world-class gallery space that is open, bright and welcoming. Ben even showed us his work space area and the many treasures he had on file that were amazing as well.

We ended up buying a collectors item of a lifetime as well, a Back to the Future triptych signed not only by Drew himself but by Micheal J. Fox too! All in all it was a great experience and we loved our visit and highly recommend it to other art lovers as well.

As a follow up Galactic Gallery hosted an event in November with the man himself, Drew Struzan, who graciously signed some of my treasured movie posters that he created. It was a once-in-a-lifetime bucket list event. There was a food truck with great food on hand as well. It was also great being with a crowd of like minded Struzan fans as well. It was quite a night. Thank you Ben for bringing this amazing space to Flower Mound. Truly a...

Tucked away in a non-descript building in Flower Mound, you will find one of the most fantastic art galleries you have ever seen! Galactic Gallery is a movie lover's, or just a general Geek's DREAM! From the moment you walk in, you are absolutely overwhelmed! Drew Struzan has to be one of the BEST artists ever. It is hard to believe that the paintings on display are not photographs. Extremely realistic. I had so many flashbacks to some of my favorite movies of the past. You will have an absolute blast walking down memory lane!! STAR WARS! INDIANA JONES! POLICE ACADEMY! THE MUPPETS!! (and who doesn't love the Muppets?) There is also a giant replica of the Alien Queen from the "Alien" movie franchise. It is a wonderful photo op! You WILL have a fantastic time at this place. Say HI to Ben while you are there!! And don't forget to visit...

A Visual Candy Shop. I visited Galactic Gallery during a Drew Struzan exhibit. I never thought I would get to see so many of his original pieces up close. Quite a crowd showed up for the event, but there was plenty of room for everyone. The Gallery is well lit and easy to move around, and the exhibit was well curated. Various rockets throughout set the tone. There's also a life size Alien Queen on site that makes for a great selfie moment. I notices that there is a full pop culture art library in back, and even spotted Loish's two books (of course a third of those has just gotten it's kickstart funding so now there's a trilogy.) All in all I had a great time. Ben Stevens has done a great...
