Raven Gallery

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.

We’re thrilled to welcome back Julie Taplin, a returning Market XIII artist, featured on our art wall for the entire month of January

Julie’s work is mixed media on canvas, known for its layered compositions and fluid movement. While the surfaces are smooth, the depth comes from carefully built layers that pull you in and reveal more the longer you look.

All works currently on display are for sale.
