Minutia Gallery is a beautifully done over area
that is only about 125 square feet. Hence, the name Minutia, which
references the size of the gallery but certainly is no indication of the
size or quality of the fine art that is (and will be) displayed there.
It is a small space next to, and part
of, The Artists Playground. The two areas are divided by a wall and each
has its own entrance. At this writing there are
about 45 fine art pieces
hanging in the show, the average size being 16x20 inches or so. This seems
to be a comfortable amount and size for viewing the art. There are a few
spots that can accommodate larger (30x40) works but overall the space is
more suited for average size two-dimensional art. We have also installed
state-of-the-art halogen, directional, track lighting.
When we first relocated to this part
of the Tannery, we used what is now Minutia as a gallery for a short time.
Since then it has been many things. It has been mostly storage space, but
also used for a graphic design business, sub-leted for a hypnotherapists
use and as an extended area for “Painting from the Heart” workshops.
Although the gallery has been finished
for about a year now, we have not been able to have regular hours. The art
is that of the owner, Pat Lutz, who is also the teacher at
The Artists
Playground. All showings have been on a ‘by appointment’ basis or we have
left the gallery open while art classes are in progress.
Towards the end of this summer we will
post regular hours and kick the gallery into full operation. We hope to
begin having shows by some of our advanced students (either single or a
group) and select, local guest artists. We may also have shows for
individual classes, adults and/or children.
We are excited to be getting Minutia
Gallery up and running and we look forward to seeing some of you visit
when we begin regular hours and/or show openings..JPG)
