Welcome to

Grove Galleria

Artisan guild, boutique, indoor market, and more! ⚘

I’d like to describe us as a shoppable art installation that helps initiate connection and creativity. Located off NW 8th Ave near the Grove Street Neighborhood, I collaborate with local vendors to bring you a unique shopping experience right in the heart of Gainesville, FL.

From curated antiques to handmade art, Grove Galleria is proud to bring all sorts of talented individuals together into one collective space.

-ˋˏ About the Owner ˎˊ-

Hi! I'm Zip, your local faerie shopkeeper & owner of Grove Galleria. I am a Florida native and have been an artist + vendor since I was a young teen. From selling my paintings & jewelry at fundraisers down in Homestead to helping my mother sell at her flea market barn in Fruitland Park, I have always had a sharp eye for beautiful colors, things, and people. I moved to Gainesville in the fall of 2010 and soon began my pop-up small business venture under the name Zipporah Sky Art. I traveled a bunch and began collecting handmade items and antiques from around the world~ including Egypt, Bahrain, Mexico, Guatemala, Brazil & more. I always kept Gainesville as my homebase to share my collected wares & art. I eventually graduated from the Florida School of Massage in 2013, so I was also able to offer chair massage as well as free tea from my other small business, Communitea Service.

In 2015, I became a mother and soon realized pop-ups were not so worthwhile as a single mom; juggling set up, childcare, and making more art in general was a struggle. I began to reach out to local shops trying to get my art displayed. Let's just say rejection is the best redirection and to never give up on your dream~ With the help of friends and a lot of work-trade with the building's owner, I was finally able to open up my first store in a warehouse in the Grove Street Neighborhood in 2023. Wanting to create opportunities for others like myself, I reached out to the other local movers & makers that I admired. And here we are now, forming a sustainable all-things creative community in my new shop space that is directly off NW 8th Ave. We have such a wide variety of items it is certainly like a treasure hunt with something for everyone, sourced from amazing “sourcerers” as I like to call them~ Once I get more established, I will be offering art studio space plus more collaborative events & classes from what I call the Grove Guild.

Thanks for reading and supporting small businesses!
