JOIN OUR CREATIVE COMMUNITY

Kismet Gallery is a new breed of bottom-up retail enterprises that pride themselves on doing things differently. Unlike other retailers, they never sell anything made in a sweatshop—just one-of-a-kind handcrafted items which are sustainable and manufactured by family, friends, and neighbors in the community. At Kismet, we stand for principles over profit; idealism over hype; values over image; and mutual aid over competition. Unlike retailers at the mall, for every dollar spent here at least 60 cents goes back into our community to pay our artists; the rest goes to keep the gallery open.

"As owners, we see ourselves primarily as ACTIVISTS fighting back against the corporate takeover which is running roughshod over our communities. We view the corporate flagpoles dominating our streets and the city outskirts as being representative of conquest, not community...The time is now to kick the corporations to the curb and to reclaim our communities."
