Our history
Owners Adam and Cindy Cave opened the gallery in 2008 with the goals of helping artists achieve financial success; helping art lovers become art collectors; and helping art collectors build collections of beauty, value, and integrity. The gallery originally opened in a a downtown Raleigh building chosen for its central location in the developing downtown district; a district that is now the thriving cultural center of one of the best cities in the country to live and work. In 2016 the gallery moved to a transitional industrial neighborhood just north of the city center. As the years have gone by, the gallery has developed a reputation as a cultural center, hosting many events in addtion to art exhibits including fashions shows, theatrical performances, body painting and performance art, movie screenings, and more. In June of 2019, the gallery hosted it's first international art workshop in Portugal and plans to continue to offer art and travel events in the future. In the Fall of 2020, Adam and Cindy closed down the physical space and moved to an online only format. The creative opportunities are endless and we are looking forward to seeing how the gallery grows and changes in the years to come.

Testimonials
As a collector, I have come to appreciate the breadth and diversity of the artistic styles that Adam Cave showcases in his gallery. His knowledge and appreciation of the work of local artists who are exploring challenging themes, and using a variety of mediums, has helped to expand my own tastes in art, and influenced what I collect as a result.

During our quest to expand the art collection at SAS Institute we have always found Adam Cave Fine Art to be one of the best places to look. Over the years we have been pleased with the purchases we have made and enjoyed the variety of styles his artists provide.
Holly Brewster Jones, SAS Institute, Cary, NC
Two or three years ago I wouldn't of thought of buying art online, but that changed when I received an email from Adam Cave Fine Art with an etching I had to have. The Adam Cave Fine Art web site allowed me to really see the art work and communicate directly with Adam on the price, details of the piece, the artist, framing, shipping…all my questions were answered. That first purchase was one of many purchases from the gallery website; buying art online is as satisfying an experience as being at the gallery.
