What makes Nicole Capozzi and Joshua Hogan with BoxHeart Gallery good neighbors? Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of an art gallery? In our latest episode, we dive deep with Nicole Capozzi and Joshua Hogan, the dynamic duo behind BoxHeart Gallery, who've spent nearly 25 years creating a vibrant art ecosystem in Pittsburgh's Bloomfield neighborhood.Nicole and Joshua shatter the myth that art galleries are exclusively for the wealthy or elite. As Nicole puts it while laughing, "I'm here mopping the floors and selling the art simultaneously." Their philosophy is refreshingly straightforward: art should be accessible to everyone and integrated into everyday life. They've crafted BoxHeart into what they call a "living, breathing gallery" where contemporary works by living artists take center stage—no mass-produced posters, only original creations by artists actively shaping our culture.What makes BoxHeart truly special is their holistic approach to supporting the art community. Beyond exhibiting work, they offer custom framing and installation services, supporting both artists and collectors "from the studio walls into their homes." The gallery serves as both a creative incubator and a gathering place where commerce and culture intersect. Their current exhibition featuring The Pittsburgh Group—17 women artists who've supported each other since the 1970s—exemplifies their commitment to showcasing diverse artistic expressions.Perhaps most remarkable is how Nicole and Joshua have intertwined their personal and professional lives. In 2018, they moved into their current building where they literally live above the gallery, with Joshua's painting studio occupying the third floor. "It's amazing to be able to live in the space," Joshua shares. "If I can't sleep, I just walk down the hall and could turn the lights on and start painting again." As they prepare to celebrate their 25th anniversary with a special exhibition titled "These Walls Talk" featuring over 100 artists, they invite everyone to experience the unique energy of BoxHeart Gallery—where art isn't just displayed but truly lives and breathes.Ready to discover original art that you'll "live with and love forever"?
