An artist who paints, sculpts, or sketches with inspirational mastery is not necessarily confident boasting and discussing her art practice and production. But that’s where MK Apothecary, a platform curating artists’ work in Collingswood, NJ, comes in — reaching out in all directions to connect artists with art buyers. Read on to learn how the artists who run MK Apothecary provide a platform to showcase their artists’ new work and for buyers to find original artworks for their private and public collections.
Building an Art Home in New Jersey
The co-founding directors of MK Apothecary, Michael Aguirre and Kristine Go, began their life partnership in the 1990s while attending the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. In the two decades following their art debuts in San Francisco, this dynamic art duo moved frequently, building their individual careers in the art + design world. Then, Michael and Kristine found a dream location to situate their vibrant art practices and set up a public-facing gallery business. That gallery, MK Apothecary, occupies a one-hundred-year-old pharmacy in the charming town of Collingswood, NJ.
