Spirit of the Artist

SOTA (Spirit of the Artist) on Pine Street in the heart of famous Antique Row only sells art and crafts made in America by artists owner Frank Burkhauser knows personally.  A simple concept; socially conscious business practices benefiting the community, artists and the gallery, creating a vibrant, entrancing art experience.  DoN and Shoshana joined artist Alden Cole as he replenished his stock of unique luminaries – lamp-like art objects created from new and old parts fitted with energy efficient LED bulbs which magically change color.  Burkhauser has been a long time supporter of Cole’s art including his paintings, DoN could tell their friendship is long and deep with great mutual respect. SOTA Gallery owner Frank Burkhauser with artist Alden Cole (that’s Alden’s latest luminaries on the shelf over his head - very cool!)
