Thanks!

Art has become "difficult" for most, these days. Our intent with having a gallery was to give independent aspiring artists as creative outlet where their work could be seen by others and appreciated. I'm an artist, as well, and part of the fun for me is sharing. Not because I need "dollars-and-cents," but because the connection/interaction others have with art fascinates me, in its own way.

Unfortunately, creating a space for artists DOES tend to cost "money," so gallery creators and owners invariably end up being part of the cycle where we "need" money in order to be able to offer the space, because there are no altruistic commercial property owners I have met... as of yet. Instead, "return on investment" and the almighty Dollar clamors for attention.

And so, we find ourselves closing down our lovely little space because the "economics" are not workable.
