Welcome to Toolbox

We are thrilled to share the release of our very first newsletter and announce the upcoming grand opening of Toolbox Art Gallery– a space to celebrate the creativity, skill, and humanity of the people who build our communities. Toolbox, founded by Seyona Belai, is a platform that highlights and uplifts the creative expression of craft trade professionals, individuals who work with their hands to shape our physical world while also carrying artistic brilliance. Whether through welding, painting, woodworking, sculpture and more, Toolbox celebrates the connection between making and meaning.

We’re just getting started— and our programming, including exhibitions and opening receptions, reflects Toolbox’s deep commitment to honoring the creativity housed within us all, while making our Gallery an inclusive and welcoming space for the community
