This show is a group exhibition featuring the talented artists and creators who work downstairs from us at King G! Their works range in medium from textiles and design, to jewelry, ceramics and painting — even music! Alongside these pieces will be works by our usual suspects here at Upper Level, interpreting King G (Gambrinus, the king of beer!) in their own recognizable styles.

King G Bar & Deli will be celebrating their two year anniversary this month (Sept 10th to be exact!) and we wanted to show our gratitude to our amazing neighbors. We’ve weathered a lot together, including the partial collapse of the building back in 2018! Ever since its inception, owner Eric Flanagan knew that he wanted to support the artists who helped transform the East Crossroads into a mural-rich landscape. The building proudly boasts an exterior mural by Rif Raf Giraffe and the now iconic two-story indoor mural by Sebastian Coolidge; even the deli sports a four part painting by Xmas Viper! This embrace of the arts has in turn drawn many other artists and makers to this establishment so as we’ve gotten to know the exceptional people who make up the team at King G over the years, we wanted to take this time to highlight and celebrate their diverse talents also!
