On 1/16/2026,
our gallery landlord informed us that this coming April, he is
going to start a major renovation of Benjamin Plumbing Supply,
and the entire side of the building facing 6th. street. He said
that it should be completed in a couple of months. We have to
totally clear out the gallery for this project. He showed me
the plans for the $5,000,000.00 project and it looks like it's
a lot more involved than a two month job. Two months is a long
time to close the gallery. The mural is being removed and windows
will be installed around the entire building structure, including
our gallery. They want to also restore the appearance which the
building had in the 1940's.

These are some
images of the construction work that has begun on the tower section
at Benjamin Plumbing Supply. The parking lot is fenced off and
the sidewalk area in front of the mural is also closed off, leaving
no access to the gallery. There is no parking available in the
alley east of the gallery. The other businesses in the area also
need to find parking. First come, first serve. Today we removed
all the jewelry and Neda's and my art from the gallery. Owen
Rose's art will remain in the gallery until Feb. 21st. We are
now actually closed permanently at this location. We are currently
looking for a new location.
More information
of reopening will come soon.
