Art on the Fringe

At Penumbra Gallery, we specialize in art you won't experience at your average gallery. For centuries, artists have had to conform to the established style of the times in order to be featured in a gallery show. 

We believe in taking the sledgehammer to the proverbial gate. Instead of the ordinary, we offer you the greatest outsider art to adorn your space. Forget peaceful landscapes and other neutral boring pieces. When you get a piece from Penumbra Gallery, people are going to notice! 

You won't find fancy art schools in our artist's resumes. Our artists exist on the fringe making truly unique pieces. They're raw, in your face, and not held back by standards. Scary? Gory? Political? Our artists relish in making art that tells a story, with a focus on lowbrow, independent, and outsider art.

Artists come to us from across the country, which gives us the flexibility to feature a variety of styles and mediums. Many of our artists are merging talents, letting you get in on the ground floor for maximum investment potential. 

Penumbra Gallery is also home to some of the best independent music releases on the market. Given that many of our artists are multitalented, it only felt right to highlight their music in the gallery. Our site is a one stop shop for emerging artists, especially those in the Detroit scene.

The website is currently in its Beta stage, so please check back regularly for updates including new pieces and artists!
