Owner Bill Shafer began the gallery in 2005[1] and has since won accolades for Best Darks Arts Gallery (2011) and Best Spooky Emporium (2012)[2] as well as received national attention for celebrity related shows such as for Charlie Sheen in 2011,[3] internationally artist participated tribute shows[4][5][6] and hosting unique museum exhibits, including one for the late Rozz Williams curated by A Raven Above Press.[7][8]

The Hyaena Gallery is notable for its permanent exhibition of horror related film pieces and artwork made by serial killers as well as the largest collection of work by artist and musician Gidget Gein. [9] Shafer curates to "highlight what I think is truly valuable, not just what is perceived as valuable because it is a current trend."[10]
