VERVE Gallery opened its newly expanded building in September 2006. Located
in downtown Santa Fe at 219 East Marcy Street, the space includes a large main
exhibition gallery which houses current exhibits and a smaller gallery which
is dedicated to showing select works from VERVE's stable of artists.
Web designer Wilson Scanlan owns VERVE Gallery of Photography. The Gallery grew
out of Scanlan's web design company, VerveLabs. He founded VERVE Gallery of
Photography in 2002 to showcase contemporary fine art photography.
VERVE Gallery of Photography has developed an innovative and unique concept for
exhibiting fine art photography. A state of the art computer system enables
visitors to browse each artist's portfolio online. Patrons can also peruse
VERVE's entire inventory of artist portfolios on a large LCD monitor in the
gallery. This concept benefits patrons, artists and the gallery itself. Patrons
are able to view an entire body of work and inspect work on file comfortably
and effortlessly, while artists are not required to consign an entire body
of work to the gallery. VERVE is able to provide access to entire portfolios
online. The portfolios are stored electronically in VERVE's database, allowing
the gallery to utilize its physical space more efficiently.
