Welcome to The Raven Gallery at Bar XIII
The Raven Gallery is more than just a gallery—it’s a celebration of creativity, individuality, and community. Dedicated to supporting local artists, this space offers a platform for bold, unconventional works that embody the spirit of counter-culture and alternative art.
Here, you’ll find pieces that explore sub-culture, eroticism, and non-traditional themes, sparking connection and conversation. Each month, we feature a new artist, transforming our walls with unique visions and perspectives.
Art in The Raven Gallery is always for sale, with 100% of the proceeds going directly to the creators. By visiting, you’re not only experiencing incredible talent—you’re also uplifting local artists and contributing to a thriving creative community.
Come by, discover something extraordinary, and be a part of the art that makes Bar XIII truly one of a kind.
