Matt Drayton and Elisheba Johnson opened Faire Gallery Cafe-Bar in March of 2006. Since then, Faire has featured successful monthly art shows, music of all genres, jam sessions, poetry and fiction readings.
Faire Mission Statement
Faire has regular art exhibits, music shows, performance art/drama, and poetry readings. Faire serves as a vessel for the arts to commence where the community is also involved with the artistic experience. It is vitally important for artists of different disciplines to use the same space. It not only creates artistic camaraderie, but inspires cross-disciplinary projects. The unique service Faire provides is that of being an artist gallery and lounge in one, just like Gertrude Stein provided a space for the dadaists to experiment with their ideas in Paris.
Faire is a french verb. It means “to make.” This verb is what Faire Gallery Café is about — making art, friends, and connections. Even though literally faire means “to make,” in french it is an everything verb. It is used for many other actions as well.
