Pop-Up RECAP: Saying Goodbye to Aigo
Nichole arrived at Pop-Up West with a rich artistic background rooted in the decorative arts. Best known for her vibrant murals throughout West Virginia, Nichole’s practice celebrates color, joy, and everyday beauty. Her work encompasses fine art prints, original works, handmade cards, and handcrafted items that reflect both aesthetic intention and playful exploration.
Upon opening Aigo in the Pop-Up West storefront, Nichole created an immersive environment that invited visitors to engage with art and design in new ways. In addition to presenting her fine art giclée prints and original works, she introduced limited-edition products such as American Persimmon wrapping paper, thoughtfully designed and tied to regional inspiration.Nichole also activated her space with community-centered events. One highlight was a cooperative Pop-Up Printing Event with the Huntington Photo Club, where local creators participated in printing demonstrations and hands-on experiences with analog photography materials, an opportunity especially notable given the absence of film labs in the region.
During the Jewel City Crawl, Nichole offered museum-quality giclée prints, making art reproduction accessible to a broad audience and emphasizing the educational potential of her work within the community.Nichole’s time at Pop-Up West represents a strong example of how curated support, tangible space, and community engagement can advance entrepreneurial growth.
