SNAX DESIGN ♥ Galleries are curated and designed by Shabazz Larkin.
Every SNAX gallery exhibits a collection of work that are unique and exclusive to that gallery and location.

The design is informed by the aesthetic of its location - not to blend in, but to add to its space like a work of art, all to itself.
The possibilities are limitless.
The intention is to inspire. Spread Art. Support Local artists. And make our neighborhood a more beautiful place.
