CDC working on a plan

(Updated: Thursday, October 09, 2008, 6:47 PM)

The North Fork Community Development Council is spearheading a movement to see if North Fork Community Gallery could close for the winter as it did last year, then re-open in the spring as a true cooperative, with various people helping to handle the responsibilities of the operation.

North Fork CDC members are exploring offering free locked storage space in addition to the conference room and hallways. Storage has been in gallery owner Paul Abram's photo studio office. Abram has announced he is closing the art space. There is also the possibility that the North Fork History Group might welcome an opportunity to show North Fork history videos there.

A brainstorming meeting about the plans is tentatively scheduled for Nov. 10. All people, artists or not, are welcome to attend.

Abram has committed to helping the gallery if it can evolve and re-open. That would include being just one of the artists who could call it home.
