Local Art & Universal Appeal
Since its inception in 2001, the 2-mile corridor along Route 1 known as the Gateway Arts District has developed into a rejuvenated enclave full of eclectic shops, galleries, restaurants, and entertainment. We’re excited to provide local artists a place to showcase their work and a community that supports them through exhibits, markets, events, and advertising.

DeVante Capers
DeVante Capers is a Multidisciplinary Artist working in painting, photography, digital art, drawing and 2D art. Diagnosed with high-functioning autism, my work reflects themes of belonging, difference, and self-acceptance, shaped by my perspective as an autistic person navigating a society not always designed for people like me.
The Corner Space
Golden Angel
DeVante Capers
Through my art, I invite others, especially those who feel unseen, misunderstood, or labeled, to reflect on their own identities and modes of expression. While my work often opens conversations about my mental health, it is ultimately about connection: how we understand ourselves, how we are perceived, and how creative expression can bridge the space between isolation and belonging.
miXt Food Hall’s rotating art exhibition spaces have an open call for local artists to submit their work for consideration. Please contact John Paradiso, Curator of Programs at Portico Gallery & Studios, at portico3807@gmail.com and include a link to your website.
