Melhop Gallery º7077

Originally a brick-and-mortar, contemporary art space at Zephyr Cove, Lake Tahoe, the gallery has transformed into a nomadic gallery working on various curatorial projects, with a virtual online viewing and art collecting platform. Director Frances Melhop has created a roving gallery opening exhibitions in alternative spaces, encouraging a new approach to thinking about and interacting with contemporary art.

Melhop represents 12 artists, with a focus on under represented female artists, providing support and nurturing their careers. She introduces experienced and fledgling collectors to fresh, diverse, conceptual, contemporary artwork. The artists presented are national, and international, ranging from Lake Tahoe, Nevada to New York, Seoul, Kumamoto Japan, London and Moscow. Through careful research Melhop curates dynamic guerilla-style pop up exhibitions, while facilitating art installations and studio visits for people to experience art and meet artists in non-intimidating ways. Melhop Gallery also runs a private Artist in Residency program, artists stay at Lake Tahoe, Nevada, by invitation, adding diverse perspectives and culture to the region.
