Walstory; Pieces fit for all Art lovers

In the vibrant core of Downtown Manhattan Beach, the Walstory Art Gallery marked a defining moment with its Grand Opening on April 24th, igniting a new era of artistic expression. Founded by Harry Knapp, both a featured artist and the gallery owner, Walstory’s pieces depict many abstract and oil designs, able to catch art enthusiasts attention at every turn.

Walking through the doors of Walstory is an experience of its own, perfectly balancing the vibrant coastal feel, while simultaneously invoking deeper thoughts regarding the inner workings of the world, reflected in its artistic values. With a keen focus on abstract and oil designs, each piece is crafted to evoke emotion, challenge perspectives, and inspire conversations particularly demonstrated in the meticulous shapes and meaningful color palettes.

At the Gallery’s inaugural event, guests were able to witness a live auction with proceeds going to the Manhattan Beach Education Foundation, demonstrating Walstory’s values of invoking change through the use of art.
