One of the most important ways to have a large impact in life is by focusing on communities that are ignored and overlooked. These communities are often the ones most in need of help, tools, and services but for a variety of reasons the largest players in most industries chose not to work on serving them. We’ve been so touched by the thousands of members of our community who are working on serving the underserved from tackling food deserts to building empowering solutions for the neurodiverse. Each week, you’ll find us highlighting folks serving underserved communities.

We really feel like we’re serving two underserved markets- both the up and coming artist and the art buyer that doesn’t make six figures. We’re all about accessibility at Insomnia Gallery. Read more>>

Our business was 100% created to serve the underserved. I had been a school teacher for 10 years and after opening schools in refugee camps in Africa it became extremely clear that I had a lot to give in this realm.
