Urbis Orbis Redux (Kinda)
Okay, Gallery Urbis Orbis - a big supporter of us at 52nd City, by the way - is gone, but the sharp space continues to house the occasional art show. Since the departure of the GUO, just before New Year's Eve, developer Craig Heller has been renting out the space on a temporary basis to local artists and arts groups, at a rate quite a bit less than that eventually charged for a retail tenant.
On April 7, from 6-10 p.m., another in a series of small exhibitions will be held at the 419 No. 10th Street space, featuring wood and stone sculptor Wes Fordyce and painter/current arts "it girl" Lyndsey Scott. The work will hang throughout the month of April, with appointments available after the reception, via 314-496-4228.
(52nd City Magazine is coming soon, April 12, supported, in part, by Hartford Coffee Company, the Royale and Fred Hessel of Edward L. Bakewell Realtors.)
