About Art Spot
Art Spot, founded in June 2024 by Asbury Park artist Michael "Pork Chop" LaVallee, blends studio space, retail, and art gallery into one dynamic venue. This unique space allows artists to both create and display their work in the same location. With artists from around the world flocking to Asbury Park to be part of its vibrant art scene, Art Spot serves as a welcoming hub, supporting and nurturing creative talent.
LaVallee, an established figure in Asbury Park's artistic community since the early 2000s, has recently expanded his creative reach into the world of fashion. Known for his large-scale murals that adorn the Asbury Park boardwalk and other local spots, his artwork has now been transformed into wearable pieces. In addition to bespoke jackets, LaVallee creates carved linocut prints and continues to expand his growing collection.
