Grove Arcade Arts & Heritage Gallery Closing
We are sad to announce the closing of the Arts & Heritage Gallery in the Grove Arcade. Their last day of operation will be December 31st.  This non-profit gallery was started as a project of the Grove Arcade Public Market Foundation to revitalize the Arcade.  Because the gallery has not become self-sustaining in three years, they are forced to close their doors.
