“There’s so much to be excited about. Overall, I’m thrilled at the opportunity to have a fresh location and set of circumstances in which to present our artists’ work in a new light. Additionally, the amount of people who have generously dedicated their time and talent to the creation of the Art Alliance Gallery Downtown is inspiring, and I can’t wait to share those efforts with the rest of the community.”
