This is Visual Index- a woman-owned independent art gallery located in the arts district of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. ๐คโก๏ธ
Everything we carry is made by living makers. Weโve been curating a thoughtful selection since 2017 and support over 160 living artists. We make collecting art feel approachable at any level.
We carry paintings, jewelry, ceramics, small-batch design and so much more!
So whether youโre shopping for a greeting card or interested in purchasing an original piece of art, rest assured youโre supporting a real, living maker when you shop with us. This is one of those places youโll want to keep coming back over and over.

You bought the art. Itโs been leaning against the wall for six months. No judgment โ but letโs fix that.
Displaying art at home doesnโt require a design degree or a perfectly planned gallery wall. It requires picking a spot and getting something up. The rest you can figure out as you go!
A practical guide for exactly this: where to hang, how to group, what to avoid, and how to keep things moving as your taste evolves. Third in our #collecting101 series โ link in bio.

Day 1 of the @intl_carnivorousplantsociety Carnivorous & Exotic Plant Symposium! A huge shout out to all the amazing people who supported Visual Index today. Lots of people showed up to support REAL humans, and that was pretty darn cool.

HahaBonbon's fake plants have wiggled their way into another delightful human's heart and home. This plant was complete with cigarettes and a piece of gum. โก
๐ James Williams on view at Chadโs Chai
โจ Featuring works by Winston-Salem native, James Williams.
โLines of Passageโ by James Williams invites you into a world built through layering ~fragments, textures, and moments coming together to form something entirely new. Collage as a medium has long been about assembling meaning from pieces, cutting and recombining to create fresh narratives and perspective, and this series does exactly that, with a rhythm that feels both personal and expansive.
Each work holds space for reflection. Movement. Transition. The in-between.
Stop by, grab a chai, and spend some time with the work. Let it unfold at its own pace.
These are available for purchase in the online store https://visualindex.co/pages/chads-chai

Local business owners (& Visual Index regulars!) Kelsey and Adrian love hand crafted things. The couple shares an inviting West Salem home, assembled slowly and intentionally, filled with objects that are useful and beautiful in equal measure; itโs cozy and balancedโeven though they donโt always agree on what โfilledโ should mean.

Iโm feeling incredibly grateful today. ๐ฉท
A huge thank you to @robertalangrand for using his voice and platform to thoughtfully share the story of Visual Index. To be seen, understood, and written about with such care means more than I can quite put into words. Itโs an absolute dream to be included on the @craftcouncil website and I donโt think Iโll ever come down from this cloud! โ๏ธ
What started as a small idea- to connect people with artists across the country- has grown into something much bigger, and itโs moments like this that remind me why I do it. ๐ฅฐ
Thank you for taking the time to learn about our makers, our vision, and the location that makes all of this possible.
Give it a read and spend some time with the story ๐ซ
