Six Handler
Six Handler (he/they) is a Half Moon Bay raised, queer, multimedia artist. As The Hideaway Gallery’s manager and curator, he seeks out artists that mesh with our atmosphere and mission and puts their work up on display. He also works in the Art Oasis Studio greeting customers and overseeing drop-in studio time. As an art appreciator and steward, Six likes anything as long as there’s something a little weird or unique about it. They’re a stalwart supporter of “bad” art and people’s right to make it.
