Velcrokid, a designer toy store and art gallery, opened in the downtown Mulberry Jam building at the beginning of November.
What to know
The shop works directly with artists from around the world to offer designer toys, art pieces and gallery shows, Velcrokid owner Eric Bowman said.
“[Velcrokid] is a space where people can explore art as a means for connection,” Bowman said.
The business also offers blind boxes, plush companions and apparel, according to its website.
Starting on Velcrokid’s opening night, the gallery is hosting an exhibition called “Strange Friends” featuring character design artists from New York and Japan. The showcase will be on display until Dec. 18, per the shop’s social media.
Bowman said he has been in the Denton area for over 20 years, and his plans for the space include hosting concerts and adding a konbini, which is a Japanese-style mini convenience store carrying international food items.
