I stopped by Orlando Gallery today, and sadly found out they are closing their doors in 2 or 3 months. This is their 51st year in business, something that is unheard of in the art world. I had the wonderful opportunity to show there for the last 8 years, and met some amazing people and made some close friends at the openings. I was in 6 group shows and 2 solo shows, and always had new art every month or two in the gallery.
I am not sure whether I will pursue the gallery scene, as I do not like scenes. As Agnes Martin reminded us, "If you come in with the scene, you go out with the scene." At some point I may seek out a new gallery, but in the meantime I will make more art available for purchase online. And, of course, there are many other venues to show art.
And there is still time to show a few more paintings and attend a few more openings at Orlando.
