Self Identified Competition
One of our competitors is Made In Omaha, which is a business that focuses on local goods. Another would be The Frame Shop which is a gallery that is just down the street from us. Their primary revenue comes from framing services and selling prints. Lastly, a big competitor would be more traditional type galleries such as the Joslyn Art Museum. Landlock stands apart from other spaces because of my art administrative background and our commitment to our artists and vendors. Visitors want to support us because they know their money will stay in the community. Additionally, we steer away from traditional gallery norms ( no touching, keep your distance, etc) to allow visitors to interact more with the artwork. This creates a totally unique experience that other spaces can't replicate. Our retail is also specially curated to represent the midwest and a very warm and cozy aesthetic.
