• What is the Goal of our kickstarter? 
  • The goal of Matthew J Capps Image Services is to become something more than just another photography studio. We feel that art, making something to be appreciated simply because it is beautiful or has an emotional effect on the viewer, is extremely important for our community, for our country, and for our world. For this reason, we plan to take our ego out of the art studio and share not just our art but the art of many established and aspiring local artists. We want our space to become a place where anyone who visits our wonderful town can view, appreciate, discuss, and if they feel moved, purchase the art of a variety of artists for their homes or businesses.
