Main Street Gallery and the Old Art Building in Leland announce a celebration of the artists and history of the gallery on Friday, June 14 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
The event also highlights the opening of the “Artists of Main Street Gallery” exhibit offered at the Old Art Building, June 14 through 18.
This exhibit will feature fine art from the artists who have shown their work at and fueled the life of Main Street Gallery over much of its history.
The exhibit will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.
For more than 35 years, Main Street Gallery showed fine art and served art patrons from its location at 307 S. Main Street in Leland. Main Street Gallery closed at the end of 2023 when its property sold to a new owner.
Daniel and Anna Oginsky acquired the gallery in 2017 from its found Malcolm Chatfield, and continue to own the gallery as a business.
There are currently no plans to move or re-open the gallery at its new location, but the Oginskys said they hope to find new opportunities to cultivate the arts with the Main Street Gallery platform.
This celebration and exhibit in June will be the first step in that direction, while also honoring the artists and history of the gallery in Leland, in partnership with the Old Art Building.
