The Hal Marcus Gallery is owned & operated by El Paso native artist, Hal Marcus. His wife Patricia Medici is the Gallery's Director and Kelly Foss is the Manager.
In 1985, Hal officially began his "art selling" career to compliment his habitual "art creating" life. From meager beginnings in an attic, the gallery is now located to 1308 N. Oregon, a few blocks down hill from Providence Hospital. The blue house with an eye-catching yellow door has 2 floors of art. Across the street, conveniently located, is Hal Marcus' home, and Art Studio.
The Hal Marcus Gallery is all about promoting Local Art. Along with Hal Marcus' artwork, the gallery also carries work from; Daniel Padilla, Teresa Fernandez, Francisco Romero, Mauricio Mora, Mark Paulda, Willibald de Cabrera, Friar Vincent Petersen, Bill Sullivan and L.B. Porter.
"If you don't know your past - you don't have a future." Hal Marcus is known to say. That belief fuels the gallery's mission of the education and promotion of Early El Paso Art. Works from notable artists such as Manuel Acosta, Bill Rakocy, Jose Cisneros, Eugene and Fern Thurston, Tom Lea, amongst many others, are on continual display and for sale.
The gallery also has a Gift Shop with a large selection of Hal Marcus prints, local- cards, books, music, and calendars; as well as unique little gifts such as chanchitos (little clay pigs) and finger puppets.
Hal Marcus is an El Paso native. He enjoys travel, owns 2 dogs, and loves chocolate. His Studio (across the street from the gallery) is available for personal tours. |
