The gallery closed permanently in 2025. It had run as a cooperative for roughly fifty years by then, having started in 1975. Those are the facts of the ending, and this page states them because a record that covers a founding and leaves out an ending is not a record.
No Account of Why
This archive gives no reason for the closing. None was verified, and an unverified reason attributed to an organization that can no longer answer for itself is worse than saying nothing. Readers who want to understand what happened will not find it here, and that is the correct outcome rather than a shortcoming of this page.
No One Named
Nobody is named on this page or anywhere in this section. No officer, no member and no participant. No contact details of any kind are reproduced either. The people who ran a cooperative are private individuals and most of them are living, and the fact that an organization has wound up does not turn the people who were part of it into public record. That rule is the reason this section is as narrow as it is.
What Followed on This Web Address
The closing is also why this domain now carries something else. This publication began after the gallery had ended, is not a successor to it, and continues none of its programs or commitments. Nobody connected with the gallery is involved in the site. The About page states that separation in full, and the notice at the top of this page states it in one line.
When any long-running organization winds up, the documents it generated tend to outlast it and can keep turning up attached to objects for years afterward. What that kind of paperwork is worth to a later owner is a practical question, and how provenance changes a collectible's value is where this site takes it up. The founding and merger sequence sits on the history page, and both pages are indexed on the Gallery Archive hub.
