Founded by oyindaSOLA in Baltimore, Maryland, in 2025, AYE is a creative sanctuary where art, culture, and commerce converge in transformative harmony. The gallery emerged as the earthly manifestation of The Sola System creative agency, expanding from years of curating events across Baltimore into a permanent sacred space for cultural preservation and contemporary expression.

​

AYE operates on the belief that every exhibition should be an ingrained transformative experience where energies orbit, converge, and illuminate. We honor the dual nature of existence—in Yoruba, Ayé means "planet," while as a diasporic expression, "aye" signifies agreement—creating space where ancestral wisdom meets revolutionary creative possibility.

​

While our curatorial vision celebrates emerging voices, our scope embraces the full spectrum of artistic expression. AYE houses exhibitions that challenge traditional boundaries, bringing together works that create unexpected conversations about beauty, identity, and cultural meaning-making. This process of honoring the sacred while embracing the contemporary is the heartbeat of our programming.

​

Located on the second floor of the historic Hooper House, AYE serves as both gallery and altar studio—a place where artists, brands, and visitors can converge authentically. Sacred space, infinite possibility.
