January was a wash out for the Renaissance Gallery. Snow and ice along with record breaking cold made it impossible to open the gallery for regular Gallery Hours. February is just about over, and hopefully the really bad weather that has kept the Renaissance Gallery all but closed.
WhileSuper cold weather and heating troubles forced us to abandon regular gallery hours, Studio Hours remained in tact. But a gallery needs gallery hours! So.......

The Renaissance Art Gallery will be open for normal gallery hours starting this Friday, February 25, 2011. Wowho!
It has been a long time. But we put the time to good use. Electricians were in and did some wiring upgrades. We now have several new outlets, and more importantly, new circuit that will allow the installation of a better lighting system.
Let there be light!

| Remodeled Wall in Main Gallery |
Lighting is all important in a gallery, and so far, ours has been adequate, but not great. That will soon change. First the main gallery is being remodeled to be brighter, lighter and more accessable. A new wall system will increase our display area while making it easier to get around. The floor will be painted a lighter, more reflective color in the next couple of weeks.Artist and designer Ron Haeberle will be putting up new display walls with their own track lighting. This is exciting, because it will allow us to display not only more art, but larger pieces. Very good for the local art community. We have wanted to do this for a long time, and it is finally coming together.

Friday & Saturday 12-4 pm, Sunday 1-4 pm
