thought i'd post this email that was sent out from DVA Gallery......thought some of the artists here may want to be updated.... Dear friends, family, artists and patrons of DvA Gallery. As of September 28th, DvA Gallery will be closing it's Lincoln Park location and merging with Rotofugi Toy Store & Gallery. I will be taking on the role of Gallery Curator and together we'll continue to bring you the best art / artists around! As some of you already know, just over a year ago, Vicki and I had a beautiful baby boy named Jack. To our surprise, we found out shortly after birth that he was diagnosed with Down Syndrome. Though he is doing very well and thriving with his many therapists, I have decided to devote my time to caring for Jack as a stay-at-home dad to help keep his development on track. Because of this, it is difficult to devote the amount of time necessary to maintain DvA Gallery, and so, we are very much looking forward to this opportunity to continue exhibiting great artwork through Rotofugi Toy Store & Gallery. We already have some great artists lined up for next year such as Frank Kozik, Tara McPherson, Amanda Vissell and as promised, Josh (SHAG) Agle. Again, DvA Gallery's official last day will be Sunday, September 28th so please make sure to come see the show August 9th and meet the artists! The last day to bring in your frame orders will be Sunday, August 31st. I will also be having a HUGE gallery sale and final party on Saturday, September 6th from 6-9. Not only will I have artwork on sale but all my merchandise will be on sale too. BUT WAIT. THERE'S MORE...I will also be selling a lot of my gallery supplies such as furniture, shelving, stereo, printers, computer, you name it! So PLEASE come and say goodbye and I'll see you the following month at Rotofugi. Again, thank you all for a wonderful 5 years of love and support. If you need to reach me, my contact information is below. If you would like to continue to see how Jack is doing, feel free to visit his blog (yes he has his own blog) at http://www.ranchojack.com . Those of you who are currently signed up on the DvA Gallery mailing list, will continue to receive emails through Rotofugi. If you no longer wish to be on the mailing list, you can just click "unsubscribe" at the bottom of the email. Cheers, David van Alphen |
