History

Established in 2014.

Owner Barb GrOb’s 1^st shop was The Wave Gallery, opened on May 1^st, 1999– the birthplace of the ART SLUT brand & representative of hundreds of artists, before it sold, 7yrs later. Then, came the famous ART BAR– a contemporary art gallery, with a jewelry bar, wine bar, gift shop & performance space, that was fabulous, but way too much for one person & the sale of the lease gave Barb the freedom to begin traveling the world, finding it’s greatest treasures & selling them at her next venture. The Key West Jewelry Bar was Key West’s longest lived ‘pop-​up’ store & 4yrs later, the concept moved across the street, expanded, rebranded, renovated & voila! a YEAR later, an ‘overnight success’! :) It’s so nice, to feel that everything’s coming full circle.
