Gallery of Maintenant

Gallery of Maintenant is listed as an art gallery, dealer, and consultant business at 997 East Oakland Park Boulevard, on a commercial stretch of the boulevard in the southern part of Oakland Park not far from the Wilton Manors border. The name, French for “gallery of now” or “gallery of the present,” suggests a focus on contemporary work, though the specific artists, media, or curatorial focus of the gallery could not be independently confirmed during this research.

The directory category under which this business is listed, art galleries, dealers, and consultants, points to a business model that may extend beyond a straightforward retail gallery to include art consulting services, where a business or individual client works with the gallery to source, curate, or install artwork for a home, office, or commercial space. This kind of hybrid gallery and consulting model is common among smaller, independently run art businesses that need multiple revenue streams beyond walk-in retail sales to sustain the business, particularly for a gallery operating outside of a major downtown arts district.

East Oakland Park Boulevard in this section carries a mix of small retail and service businesses, and a gallery at this address would be positioned along one of the city’s more heavily trafficked east-west corridors, connecting the interior of Oakland Park to US-1 and the Fort Lauderdale beach communities to the east. The U.S. Census Bureau’s geocoding service confirms this specific address falls within Oakland Park’s incorporated city limits.

During research for this listing, a working business website using the gallery’s own domain could not be located; the only website reference found redirected to a general local-search directory profile page rather than an independently operated site. No matching entry could be found in a search of Florida’s Division of Corporations records under variations of the gallery’s name, and no active social media page could be independently verified. Because the only source located for this business is the original directory listing, this entry is flagged for review rather than presented as fully confirmed.

This does not necessarily mean Gallery of Maintenant is closed or that the directory listing is inaccurate, only that the sources checked during this research were not sufficient to independently corroborate the gallery’s current ownership, hours, or specific curatorial focus beyond the bare listing itself. Readers interested in visiting are encouraged to call the listed phone number directly to confirm the gallery is currently open and to ask about current exhibitions or available work before making a special trip to this Oakland Park Boulevard address.
