Terrace: Art gallery future uncertain after losing gaming grants

Terrace: Art gallery future uncertain after losing gaming grants

EXCERPT:

Members called the gaming commission while filling out grant papers in early April and were told they no longer qualified because the program had changed and only youth oriented groups would be receiving money, said Irving.

The art gallery has been here for 29 years and was free to visit.

About 6,250 visitors come to the gallery every year and about 22 classes have come through the gallery this past school year.

“The loss of the gallery would be a serious blow to local artists,” said Irving.
