Local Artist Spotlight:
Showcasing Community Talent at the GST
At Gypsy Sisters Tattoo, we believe that art should be seen, celebrated, and shared. Our Local Artist Spotlight was inspired by Teena and Myria’s travels across the country, where they saw how small cafes and local museums proudly showcased community art, giving artists a platform to shine. Here in Logan, WV, we’re carrying that tradition forward by opening our doors to local artists, inviting them to display their work in our shop—commission-free.
With so many talented artists in our area, we know that getting exposure can be a challenge. That’s why we’re committed to helping creatives get their work seen by offering a welcoming space for their art without any fees. We aim to build a supportive network for artists, a place where creativity can flourish, and where community members and travelers alike can experience the talent that makes our region unique.
Creating Community Through Art
Our shop isn’t just a place for ink—it’s a creative hub where artists can meet, share, and inspire one another. We regularly host meetups to help artists stay motivated and discover fresh inspiration from their peers. These gatherings are a chance to talk shop, share techniques, and encourage each other to keep creating. We know how transformative it can be to connect with other artists, and we’re here to make those connections possible.
With the Hatfield and McCoy trails bringing visitors to Logan County from all over, we hope to give them a memorable piece of our community. By showcasing local art, we encourage everyone passing through to take home a unique piece of Logan’s creative spirit.
