The former Big Sky Muffler on North 19th has been reborn as Resonance, a vibrational art gallery and wellness studio where the admission price includes a brief frequency alignment. Owner Mara Lindquist, who relocated from Portland three winters ago, said the 1950s cinderblock structure holds a particularly clean energetic signature.

“The exhaust pipes actually created a natural grounding grid,” Lindquist said, adjusting a singing bowl display near the former service bay. “We’ve simply activated what was already here.”

Opening night drew a crowd that spilled onto the sidewalk beside the new four-story mixed-use development next door. Attendees sipped adaptogenic mocktails while a sound practitioner played crystal harps tuned to the Schumann resonance. The gallery’s inaugural exhibit features watercolors painted during breathwork sessions, each priced at a level that reflects the artist’s “energetic investment.”

Longtime resident Hank Pomeroy stood near the entrance with his dog, watching the line form. “Used to cost twelve bucks to get a muffler welded here,” he said. “Now it’s forty-five to get your chakras tuned. Either way the car runs better afterward.”

Resonance offers sliding scale community hours on Tuesday mornings, though the schedule is posted only on their Instagram. The space also hosts monthly new moon integration circles in the former alignment rack room. Lindquist said they’re in talks with the city about designating the sidewalk out front as a “coherence zone.”

The muffler shop’s original sign still hangs above the door, freshly painted in iridescent white.
