[Alt-photo] Re: GALLERIES IN CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA

[Diana Bloomfield]

Oh wow-- thanks for that information, Clay.  I had no idea.  That's amazing.  Over at least the last decade or so,  I think they've had some issues with turnover and direction (always a new director it seemed)-- but wow-- I'm really stunned by that.  "Suspending operations" it says.  The Light Factory has been there forever-- 

And, this for Bob-- I hadn't been to Hodges-Taylor in a while, but when I looked them up just now-- it seems that they *may* not have a physical gallery space anymore-- looks like it's now an "art consultancy."  I can't tell if they have 4 walls anymore or not.  So . .  in answer to your question-- No, there is no place in Charlotte for photography. ;)
