GALORE

Galore is a student-led concept gallery space in Chapel Hill dedicated to showcasing and supporting student artists. I worked with a team of students to design the space and then launch the store. Galore continues to function as a gallery showcasing student artwork and regularly hosts events to support the arts on UNC’s campus.
