Most major museums enforce strict no-pet policies, Colonna Contemporary stands out as a refreshing exception. This intimate gallery offers a warm welcome not only to art aficionados but also to their furry friends, making it a unique and inclusive cultural destination.
As you step into the gallery, you're greeted by an inviting, open space filled with contemporary art, bridging the workds of physical and digital art. The walls are adorned with works by renowned mixed media artists and photographers such as Peter Nitsch, Heather N. Stout, Amit Sharma, and Roberto Salazar. Each artist brings a distinct voice and style, making for a diverse and engaging exhibition.
Peter Nitsch's thought-provoking photography, like in his series Beacon, captures urban life with a striking blend of realism and abstraction, often leaving viewers contemplating the nuances of modern existence. Heather N. Stout's pieces, on the other hand, are a mesmerizing fusion of landscapes and paintings, evoking emotions and memories that resonate on a deeply personal level. Amit Sharma's work, the Leica ambassador, known for its bold use of light and shadow, brings a dramatic flair with his series The Elephant, that contrasts beautifully with the subtle, introspective quality of Roberto Salazar's minimalist and abstract creations.
The gallery is providing ample space for both humans and dogs to explore. The staff are notably friendly and accommodating, offering water bowls and treats for canine visitors. This attention to detail ensures that both art lovers and their pets feel comfortable and welcome.

Read moreI recently flew out from Las Vegas for a Lilyillo show and it exceeded every expectation I had — and then some! From the moment I stepped inside, I was captivated. The space itself is beautifully curated, allowing each piece to shine while maintaining a cohesive flow throughout. The lighting, layout, and ambiance create the perfect environment to truly immerse yourself in the artwork. The small suburb of Philly is a joy to visit with small local restaurants and shops to check out.
Michele is the owner and is an absolute joy to work with. Easily my favorite gallerists I’ve had the pleasure of working with. I plan to do business with him over and over again deep into the future.
