"To all the idle hands out there: Dare to use your hands to create! For most people, it is not easy, it takes time and patience! Everyone is good at something, but some people just cannot do ART! You may find that YOU can! You have a gift! You can make the difference! If you find that your creativeness makes you happy, you can bet that it will make others happy too! We celebrate all those who add to the happiness and culture of our area!" - Richard Heiser -

"ART does not need to be expensive! CREATIVITY needs no set of tools, it has no rules! It flows naturally out of people only if they let it... and when they do, the World becomes a better place! Some ART is born through work, pain and struggle. Some ART is effortless and whimsical! ART is the Human Condition coming into this world through YOUR hands! When any "tool" gets between you and YOUR ART and DOES IT FOR YOU, it becomes a "LIE"! The World is under attack by a synthetic weapon; it is A.I., (Artificial Intelligence)! "But it is so fast and easy!" That is because you had little to do with making the "ART"! "It is better, it is perfect, it is FAST; there are NO mistakes!" True life is all about IMPERFECTION and EMOTION! This is something a machine will never understand! Our SOULS and our CULTURE are at stake here!" - Richard Heiser -

"IT IS TIME.... time to bring in your artwork you have sitting around that no one has ever seen! Artwork YOU made! Some of you have been confidently doing formal art all your life, you may have a degree in ART, you may TEACH art! Some of you are young with no artistic training at all! I have seen incredible art made by teenagers still in High School! For some, they were born with talent.... it flows right out of them! Still others have had to work hard for decades to reach the level they are at! WE ARE NOT ART SNOBS! IRONICALLY YOU MAY BE YOUR OWN WORST CRITIC! Did you "break the rules"? Did you fool around and make something you hadn't planned on? How do you know if anyone will like it? You don't! You can't know! BE PROUD THAT YOU DO WHAT YOU DO! We supply the stage to show off what you have! Give it a shot!" - Richard Heiser -🤘🙌🤩 (We open June 2nd! We are taking in new artwork right now and always throughout the summer!

"How do you know that it's "ART"? How can you really know? You made it yourself, so you know! You birthed it! There was nothing like it before you made it! You dreamt it up! You looked at some dull, common object and expressed it in a way no one was expecting! You messed around with some materials labeled as "worthless" and something happened! You molded it, you drew it, you painted it, you welded it, you glued it together! You were left alone and you made something! Bring it in, let's see it! Do you dare?" We are not "art snobs"! (May 20th, 2026, we are accepting in new art! We open in June!) - Richard Heiser -

There is still a little time yet before it starts getting nice out! Which means there is still some time to make ART undistracted by all the fun things you can do outside! Unless of course, you paint landscapes on location, do watercolors in a canoe with lake water, or draw while sky diving! We are looking forward to seeing your hand-made ART no matter how or where you made it! We open back up in June! 🤩

"It's a brave new year!!! A chance to step out of your comfort zone and risk making something NO ONE has made before! We don't care what medium you use! Here at the Union Street Emporium, we are not judging prudes! Bring your art in this coming Spring! There are no rules for your creativity here! That is what TRUE ART is all about!!" - Richard Heiser - 😬😲🤩
