Southwest Gallery

What Southwest Gallery does

Southwest Gallery (legal entity: S. W. Galleries Corp) is a privately held fine art gallery founded in 1967 and headquartered at 4500 Sigma Rd., Dallas, Texas. The company sells original paintings, limited edition sculptures, and glass artworks from a diverse roster of represented artists spanning Western, Impressionism, Realism, Contemporary, Wildlife, Landscape, Figurative, Surrealism, Pop Art, and Traditional styles. Visible price points on its website range from approximately $1,200 to $63,500 per piece, with most pricing handled via direct contact with gallery staff by phone (972.960.8935) or email ([email protected]) rather than through listed online prices.

The business operates a dual-channel distribution model combining a physical showroom (open Tuesday-Saturday 10-6 p.m. and Sunday 1-5 p.m.) with an e-commerce website at swgallery.com. The website functions as both an online catalog and inquiry portal, supporting a 'My Gallery' wishlist feature, user registration, newsletter signup, and email-based purchase initiation. The company has built an international collector base spanning Japan, Saudi Arabia, Jakarta, Bahrain, Holland, and the United States, indicating that the website enables cross-border sales without a physical international footprint.

Southwest Gallery generates revenue through two primary streams: one-time fine art sales (original paintings and limited edition sculptures) and professional custom framing services. Adjacent offerings include design consultation services and the Kittrell/Riffkind specialized department, both of which extend the core transaction into post-purchase services. The company serves fine art collectors acquiring pieces for personal collections, corporate art installations, or gift purchases, and employs 11-50 people. No external investors, parent entities, funding rounds, or acquisitions are disclosed, and the ownership structure appears to be that of a privately held corporation with no institutional shareholders identified.
