No this isn't your middle-school-aged sister's bedroom wall. It's Cinders Gallery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. What can we say? You know those hipsters--they thumbtack stick figures to the wall and call in ironic. And we have to admit, we find it appealing when we visit a gallery whose work reminds us of Mrs. Johnson's fifth grade classroom wall.

The gallery founders sought to "create a space to show art that felt more homey, warm and inviting than the often cold and intimidating atmosphere of galleries." The original space intended for Cinders burned down, hence the name. Today, with sprinkler system firmly in place, the gallery hosts monthly art shows as well as other events that have included live music, readings, slide shows and performance.
