Artist opens gallery, gift shop
At a time when the recession was blighting the economic aspirations of many, artist and entrepreneur Roberto Evans said he didn’t seem to notice.
Bearded yet baby-faced, the now 27-year-old Gainesville native decided to channel his creativity full time in September 2008 with a retail location for his screen-printed T-shirts, mixed-media art pieces and other made gifts.
Nearly two years later, Evans’ original vision has evolved into two distinct downtown spaces: The Exchange and the newly opened Gifthorse at 101 N. Main St.
Gifthorse opened for business in August to solve the space issue Evans was facing. It houses all merchandise that was formerly at The Exchange and features a second-story art gallery. The Exchange is now solely an art school and exhibition space.
