Goldfinch Gallery

Goldfinch is a commercial modern art gallery in East Garfield Park that focuses on captivating, entertaining shows. The gallery's Flatfiles program, which provides a selection of works by artists such as Edra Soto and Anne Harris for relatively inexpensive rates (typically no more than $1,500, but sometimes as little as $130), is a good place to start an art collection on a budget.

Goldfinch is an East Garfield Park gallery that shows exhibitions in a stark 880-square-foot space surrounded by artist studios. Local artists Damon Locks, Mari Eastman, and Sherwin Ovid have all had exhibits at the gallery, as well as presentations, salons, and conversations.

The Flatfiles Program at Goldfinch strives to bring original contemporary artworks to a wider audience. Painting, drawing, collage, prints, photographs, mixed media pieces, and any other flat work that can fit in the drawers of the flatfile cabinet, the vast majority of which are valued at $1500 or less — and many of which can be purchased for $500 or less — are included. The Flatfiles' works are available for viewing online or by appointment during the open hours (Fridays and Saturdays 12-4 pm when exhibitions are on view).
