The New Year began with an exciting opportunity for Gallery Moab, the co-op owned by a group of local artists and photographers. A new location became available in the front of McStiff's Plaza and the group was quick to take advantage of the opportunity to move up.

            The space, formerly occupied by Sandstone Gallery, is larger, brighter and more centrally located, bound to draw more traffic and increased interest in local art. Most of January was devoted to preparing the new gallery for opening, including the addition of mobile walls to add display space, new track lighting and other improvements. The new gallery location also includes a classroom that will be used for workshops and lectures.

            A lot of white paint was expended to prepare a bright and neutral environment for the display of artworks of many kinds, including paintings, watercolors, prints, photographs, ceramics and sculpture. There are 16 active members of the co-op who take turns volunteering to run the gallery.
