thegrassynoel GALLERY & STUDIO is a one of a kind experience for both artists and the public. Started by former Apple Store Lead Creative, teacher and artist Noel Gussen and his wife Sandra, the space displays the work of featured local artists as well as his own in a modern, clean-cut gallery and studio. 
A by stander would look through the windowsill lined with wheatgrass and lime paint to see a funky little space. When you enter, you start noticing a different vibe from the shops around town. Visitors can gain inspiration from contemporary art and feel relaxed in thegrassynoel's calm atmosphere. Artists can gather and meet other aspiring creatives. What makes it unique is its environmentally friendly methods and use of technology, specifically mobile devices. thegrassynoel cultivates art with a limited carbon footprint by featuring painting, drawing and photography programs utilizing iPads as both brush and canvas to the curious who sign up for lessons, workshops, parties and business support. 
"Our goal is to enrich the lives of children and adults through education, demonstration and presentation while creating a gathering place for inspiration and self expression" -nsg
