The story behind the business…how Artfully Apex came to be.
After ten years of owning The Apex Gallery and Custom Framing, Nick and Bethany Bryant wanted to expand our retail area. They found the perfect space just a few doors down from their framing shop and have loved filling it with colorful gifts and art supplies! Their vibe is “art museum gift store meets art supplies”. We love inspiring creativity and hope people leave with something that encourages them or makes them smile! “Art makes everything awesome!”
What Nick and Bethany love about Apex and The Triangle:
“There is so much diversity and opportunity in the Triangle. Of course one of our favorite spots is the NC Museum of Art.”
“Nick actually proposed there at a
Rodin exhibit back in 2000!”
We are excited to see Apex’s artist community growing and public art investments by the Town of Apex. Bethany has been framing on Salem St since 2004, and Nick since 2014. We are thankful to be able to work, play, and raise our kids in downtown Apex!”
Next time you are strolling down Salem Street, be sure to stop by Artfully Apex and Apex Gallery & Custom Framing. Outside of the framing store, you’ll also find the Free Little Art Gallery. Follow them on Instagram and stop by to “take art, leave art, or both!” and be sure to tag #downtownapexflag and @downtownapexflag in your posts and stories!

Mayor Jacques Gilbert makes wellness in the Peak a Priority!
The Mayor of Apex is putting fitness first in the Peak. And with that comes the Peak City Fitness Fest.
“On Sunday, September 8th, Peak Fit Events and FACTS for Youth (a local non-profit organization dedicated to teaching children and teens financial literacy) will be hosting the Peak City Fitness Fest 24'!
This is an annual event that puts fitness and wellness on public display! Our theme this year is Yoga X Strength! We will have free fitness classes available to the public! Healthy Food trucks, health and wellness vendors, health screenings, and more for all!
We aim to make fitness and wellness fun and accessible while spreading educational knowledge on fitness and finances! Join us for a full day of mind and body wellness fitness! All age groups are welcome and can attend the different workout classes.”
“As Chair of the Personnel Committee, this has been a key priority for me. Ensuring the mental and physical health of our staff is crucial for their happiness, productivity, and overall quality of life. Wellness leads to improved productivity, allows more quality time with family and loved ones after work, and can even help reduce insurance costs. Wellness is a priority for our staff, and we are committed to supporting them in every way we can.”

EXTRA SPRINKLES 🧁
Peak Lab Rescue is one of our favorites (primarily because they bring puppies to Southern Peak Brewery all the time so I can hold a puppy and drink beer…it’s like heaven). If you can’t rescue an adorable new family member, they have an Amazon wish list full of things they need! The beautiful floofs pictured below all have new homes thanks to PLR! And don’t miss the message from Mickey with what he needs…hint…it’s all the warm and fuzzies…

A Message from Mickey who needs a home and would like it to be yours!!!
Thanks for reading! If there’s anything that made you smile or made you want love Apex even more, share this with someone who needs Mickey in their life!
Sincerely,
Stephanie
