Beyond the Gallery: How to Start Collecting & Designing Your Art Wall

Join Ballston BID for an interactive session facilitated by David Carlson, Curator, and Bobby Mahoney, Director, Fred Schnider Gallery.. Think art collecting is only for seasoned collectors? Think again! David and Bobby will guide you through how to start your own collection and create an art wall that’s as unique as you are.

Learn how to mix styles and mediums—from modern and contemporary pieces to sculpture and photography—and arrange them in a way that truly reflects your personality. No rules, just creativity, practical tips, and inspiration to help you build a space you’ll love every day. Get ready to start collecting, start curating, and most importantly, start making your walls a reflection of you.

Light refreshments and beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) will be provided by Ballston BID. This program supports Ballston BID’s commitment to cultivating an engaging, dynamic neighborhood experience and welcomes everyone who is part of the Ballston community.
